Default Which GRP single-seater has the lowest cockpit weight?

our LS4 has ballast added to the tail, the min cockpit weight is normally
154# but with the added tail ballast it is 171#, the nose ballast (up to 3
weights forward of the rudder pedals) is equivalent of adding 11# for each
weight to the seat or 33#, so 171-33=138# or.. 121# if the tail ballast was
removed.

I know the LS4 has an optional bracket for ballast --allows pilots down to
about 100#, and the G102 as well.
