I've been using my Shorai for exactly 2 years. Daily driven over 3 seasons, no issues.

To the OP, these are the major things I've done which could've been done at OEM:

Flywheel 12#
Driveshaft 13#
Wheels/tires (33lbs/corner) 28#
Brakes 12#

Battery 25#
Rear Seat Delete 25#
Spare and tools 25# (+5 for a continental slime/inflator kit)
Smaller Windshield Washer Tank 2#
Lighter Rear Exhaust 10#

~152# down without much loss in functionality. ~66# rotating weight loss. ~40# unsprung/rotating weight loss.
