General LSX Automobile Discussion - question on what i found today

so i was taking out my rear seats today to go to the track tm and there are 2 holes cut out in the carpet each under the seat latch. there is a big nut and bolt on. i was wondering why the previous owner needed to get to those bolts and what are they for?

hmmmm post up a pic.
are they factory bolts or some one put them there?

I have those on my car too, I think it's for the rear shocks?

Yup. Upper mounting point for the rear shocks.

Lucky you have had your rear shocks replaced.

So, are you guys saying its necessary to remove the rear seats in order to install new rear shocks? If so, thats good info to know.

you don't need to remove them, just fold them down.

yup for shocks where on the island are u

the carpet is factory perforated for the shock access.

I just pull the carpet out and change it that way, no reason to cut the carpet when you can get access to the bolt without it in less than 10 minutes. (t-top car)

They are a better than stock riding/handling shock but not drag specific. Really unless you are a high horsepower setup you will notice no time difference just shitty street manners by going to a drag purpose shock (too soft). B-steins are good for a mostly street occasionally strip car.
