Is it possible to add the 3rd row seats to a car that already has air suspension. I've done a quick web trawl and there are numerous suggestions that the 7 seater has a reinforcing strut welded in for the 6th & 7th seats, but I've not found anything else. 
Other than seats/panels/curtain airbags is there anything else?
Would it also need an inspection over here in WA?
Thanks

2nd row seats are different and may not allow you to access the rear seats.
Check, you may need to change 2nd row.

Looking at the parts listings, Whilst the basic floor pan is the same for both 5 & 7 seater, there are 2 reinforcing panels for the 7 seater.
And for the second row seats, the 7 seater gets a 35/30/35 split seat, where it looks like the 5 seater gets a 35/65 split.
I assume it would have to be re-complianced as a 7 seater, though don't know that for sure.

Thanks gents, sounds like too much hassle, probably easier to limit the search to 7 seaters then! Was just very tempted by a nice 5 seater at a good price.  :)
