evo x coilovers questions

Hi,
Just wondering if it is possible to install coilovers on the evo x without opening the trunk? I have a full built audio system on it.

Is it possible to have it install by taking the back seat off?
Thanks

If you cut the plastic out entirely from behind the seats maybe? I'm not positive on that but I'd think you could reach from the other side. I'd go with the others in saying no certainly not optimal, but I don't give a definitive no.

if you pulled the rear seat entirely, you might be able to reach through the opening, but it would take longer to do it that way than uninstall a box.

Oh, well, in that case you can. You also have a center diff that can magically change its internal gearing with the touch of a button and you have a pump in the rear of your car with one solenoid with two harness connectors for absolutely no reason at all.

If the world were actually as described on EvoXForums, I would have signed up for a moon-launch by now.

Even if you could do it without removing the trunk linker it would be a PITA, its so tight in there already to get a ratcheting wrench I cant imagine not doing it without taking it all out.
