I need some suggestions on a DS loop, preferably a 2 piece (easy to install).

I ordered mine from steeda and I'm fixing to install it this weekend. It's a 2 piece and seems to be really simple to do. I just need to take the time to do it.

You could also get the one from UPR. Theirs is sort of a triangle that will also fit around the aluminum driveshaft with ease. I installed the Lakewood loop in a buddies car and it was a tight fit, while the UPR one I put in my car was about a 20 minute easy job. The UPR one is a 2 piece unit by the way.

Even though I ordered from steeda, the one that they sent me was an HPM. Thats what it says on the box anyway.

I have a ford racing one. We had to remove the rear seats and carpet to bolt on the safety loop (drilling floor pan). If I remember 4 bolts on each side. There is now way it can move now

Did you weld yours or bolt it in? Seems like it would take more than 20 minutes to unbolt the seats and pull the carpet back

If it's anything like mine, which I would bet they are exactly alike, then 20 minutes is being generous. The bottom section of the rear seats comes out independently of the top part, and actually does not have any bolts holding it in. All together I can get the entire rear seat, top and bottom out in about 10 minutes. Also, there is no carpet under the bottom of the rear seat. It stops just after where you can see it. Just take that rear seat out, move the sound proofing crap, and drill away.

To take the bottom part of the rear seat out just feel along the bottom edge of the seats where they meet the carpet. In the middle of each "section" you will find a little white plastic things with a slot in it. Insert a flathead screw driver in there and pull up on that section. If you were sitting on either side the plastic thing would be bewteen your legs, just to give a reference. There is one on each side. Once you get the sides lifted up, just feed your seatbelts thourgh the holes and lift the entire bottom part out. All together. top and bottom, there are seven small bolts holding our rear seats in, scary isnt it. Even more scary is that all of those bolts are in the top half of the seat.

Why are you taking out the rear seats to install a DS loop? It is definitely not necessary.

Just take out the front seats, then the sill molding and then you can reach under the carpet and drop the bolts in that way. Installing one should take no longer than 45 minutes.
