2+2 Back Seats !!
dre_2k. that is the best place for the girls..
back when i was a kid my dad had a set of those in his 86 gxl. small as hell.. when i got into highschool i hated riding in the back.. those seats are definatly not made for full size people, but none-the-less they can be useful at times.

Yahoo/Geocities/Tripod whatever the **** it is won't let you have external links to their pics
Ain't people weird - the first thing I did when I got my 87 n/a was to rip out the UNUSED back seats and bought a set of storage bins from the local wrecker for $50. It never occured to me that someone would actually want the things, so I cut the cloth panels off them and used the cloth to cover the lids of the storage bins to match the door panels and front seats - the rest went to the dump. Now I find I could probably have sold the things - go figure!

I got my back seat about 4 1/2 years ago before my first son was born. It was either that or another car. I can't imagine full sized people sitting back there but they hold a car seat pretty great.

I have a backseat in the good old GXL. It is pretty sweet.
I have my amp screwed to the back of the backside of the seat, and my subwoffers fit perfectly flush between the shock towers and against the back seat back and on top of that I use the straps to hold them in place. I could go through an auto-X and everything would still be in place
I have my cupholder on the seat bucket which is secured by the seatbelt. Yes I'm very innoviative
plus if I ever need to let the amplifier cool down I just fold the back seat down, it is all good.

By the way hyperdaddy7 you can get a big ticket well alone kill a unrestrained person if you ever get in an accident with some one in the back area.

I just made the switch last week. I didn't weigh everything, but I have a rough guesstimate. The back seat was surprisingly light. My guess is it added less than 20 lbs.
Look at it this way, 20lbs is equivalent to about 3 gallons of gas in your tank. Plus, the weight is low and in the back.
Performance difference in the cars?......Maybe a driver as skilled as Michael Schumacher could tell a difference, but I doubt it.

So those of you w/o rear seats, is it ever an inconveinience? Do you wish you had rear seats (for other than the purpose of a child seat)?
Also how bad is it for the suspension when you have 450+ lbs. in a 350lbs. capacity car?
Thanks for all the help

Don't have kids. That way you won't have to worry about soiling your sports cars with child seats.
