i dont have time to do all that lol.. mounting it to the rear seat brackets is alot better than just the shock. +rep to you.

i used 3/8 x 24 for the shock and 7/16 x 20 for the seat bracket. i got them from sumitt racing.. the bar stock is 1" alum. i just welded a plate to the seat bracket after cutting the seat rest part off. the mount for the shock center mount is just drilled and taped and mounted to the seat mount bar.. it took a day to make it. the first bar i put there was just going shock to shock ( after market bar ) the more i looked at it the more i thought it was useless.it supported nothing...i took out my esat to add amps. i looked at the seat bracked and though if i could tie them together with the shocks it might be better....it worked really well.. i have a matching bar for the rear upper seat belt placement at rear piller....that with a dc sport dc 1 front strut bar reall made the car feel tighter....
