Who has the best rear seat kit?
I want to add a folding rear seat to my new-to-me '91 DS. Who makes the best kit? Some seem to have steel all the way around the perimeter of the seat back and other don't. For cargo strength I would think that would be beneficial. Is one easier to install than another?

Re: Who has the best rear seat kit?
Hey Wayfun, I'm interested in the responses you'll get as well but I did find this site that looks like good quality rear seat kits, including what seems to be a decent price for adding custom seat covers and matching front seat covers as well.
http://www.frugaldougalsgolf.com/pro...7#.VIWxomwtAeE They're also made out of light-weight aluminum stating you wouldn't need HD leaf springs. It also includes the safety handle which also appears the rear seat will fold down without having to remove the safety handle. They might be a little pricier but I like the idea of being aluminum and getting everything at once i.e., rear seat kit with safety handle and with matching seats (front and back) if you're wanting that. Just another option and I hope you get some more feedback, although with so many companies offering these I know it's tough to choose! |

I put one of these seats on my old EZGO. The price is right. They are a site sponsor as well. It has the steel all the way around. Worked well for me.

Re: Who has the best rear seat kit?
So let me throw one more thing into the equation for you.......
Whoever you go with, call and make sure the new kit will not bring your front seatback too far up! The original kit that was on my "new to me" 2002 DS, pushed the seat very far forward and made it a bit uncomfortable. I'm only 5'11 so it's not that I am too tall. I did find one that worked for me, but the name of the company escapes me right now. Just make sure to call first and ask the question.... Best wishes! BTW, the flip seat in my avatar and photos is the old one..... |

Re: Who has the best rear seat kit?
"The" best kit is the one that's best for YOU. The one that best fits your needs and wants. Make a list of you want the seat to do for you. If you're going to use it to haul oak firewood or sacks of cement, then strength will be high on your list. If you're concerned about rust, then aluminum is high on your list. You're the only one who can decide what is "the best" rear seat.
After you have your list, do a search of flip-flop seat images to find makers that best match your list. Hopefully one of the site sponsors will carry your seat. Happy hunting. P.S.---Lovnlivin--The need for HD rear springs is not for the weight of the seat. Its for the weight of the load that the seat will be supporting. |

Re: Who has the best rear seat kit?
I'd like to second this. Installed a Steeleng rear flip seat for my Club Car a year ago and have gotten nothing but enjoyment from it. Works well. Solid construction.

I have bought 2 seats from Steeleng. One for an EZGO and one for a Club Car. Both are great seats! At one time they had a coupon code in the general discussion section for 5% off for BGW members. |

Here's what the site states: "New springs are not required for this lighter weight aluminum rear seat kit unless you intend to carry a heavy load in the back". |
