Don't mean to jack your thread ssonic.

Mark, do you happen to have any pics of a completed 1st gen with the modified rear seat? That has been a MAJOR factor in choosing a rear suspension package for me.

I don't, in fact being a young company with the type of product we sell currently puts us at a big disadvantage. The projects we are supporting are all pretty serious builds, frame off, serious motor, etc. By default, these cars take a long time to complete, and as we have only been to market for a few months, few have been completed. In addition, we don't have the pockets of cash like the bigger suppliers to throw at cars, yet anyway.

I have attached a picture of a rear seat on a nice first gen that I took at SEMA, this car DOES NOT have an LD 3-Link, but the rear console is exactly the approach that would work to cover the tunnel cover necessary for our kit. In fact, I took the pic' because it was so obvious that this is the easiest and cleanest way to go.

I am curious, by the way, what people are doing for the rear seat on the DSE kit, those boxes seem to me to make things a bit taxing on any seat bottom padding, but it's too hard to tell for certain.

my whole plans for the car are really all over the place. i want it to show well but preform even better. it will have custom mike lavallee tru flames in blue(cobalt body with oriental and true blue flames) but will never see a trailor. but to be honest with my self i probably wont be seeing the track but a few times a month. the fact that the seats will need to be modified will not be a factor at all since i plan to do custom buckets to match the front and a custom fiblerglass center console from dash to package tray. i am leaning more dowards the three link just because i am able to find a lot of info about it on the site and it looks like a proising product. and the fact that they are working on a front end kit makes me happy to.

First let me thank you for clearing up that a stock back seat will fit with some mods...I thought I read that if you wanted a rear seat at all it would have to be a fourth gen rear seat...it's good to hear that you can still use a stock frame...the only thing I don't care for is the need for a center console...I'm not big on them.

Ok, I have a 4-bar in my car and use load boxes at the floor that I patterned after the Mule's, so they are basically the same as DSE's and I have no problems clearing the seat bottom with plenty of room for seat travel.
