Seen it done on a coupe, not a hatch. You can get it done for around 1500 if not cheaper if you know people. And yes you could mount them behind the seats.

it should pass inspections. there are air cylinders and air over strut bag kits, but either way it should pass.

bags will pass to. the way it was explained to me is if you have a master power source "switch" to the air system that is out of the drivers reach it must remain off while the vehicle is being operrated
