    Aside from the obvious stuff like removing components such as rear seats, is there a way I can make a car lighter? What do I need to adjust in the body's jBeam? Can this be done without sacrificing body strength?

    You can carefully reduce the weight of the body nodes, and you will have to reduce the spring strength and damping strength if the nodes starts to shake and vibrate. But with lower node weight you don't need the higher spring values anyway. But trying to do it this way can be frustrating to say the least :)
