Ok i had an idea about the rear suspension.
Since the only way you can access the rear suspension is through the rear seats, isn't there a way to cut part fo the dome thing in the trunk compartment to expose the suspension strut bolts??
Or would cutting that away ruin the rigidity of the car??
Cause i was just thinkin' if that was possible.
So that way you don't have to take out the rear seat everytime something is wrong wit you rear struts.
You could just access them through the trunk.
Wouldn't it work???? :-?

I don't think it would be a wise plan, bro. By cutting part of the metal structure of the car, you could weaken the body.

To access to the rear suspension, you have to remove the rear seat and the top cover where the speakers are as well. Anyway, suspension is not one of the mods that you need to work on it often though.
