Can anyone help me out here and tell me if the death grip handle has the same hole configuration/layout as the KH front bumper with the 4 holes? I just bought one and want to pre-drill my holes so it's ready to go when it comes (plus I'm losing my job and won't have the shop/tools to do it when I get it). Any links to a step by step process for putting a carbon fiber seat base with the death grip would be great too. (yes I did search and found some but nothing with the death grip). Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. Could you elaborate a little more on why the cb doesn't work well with a KH style seat?

The standard drilling of the DeathGrip handles is 5 holes. The forward 3 are the Miyata pattern. The rear 2 are the same as the 2 rear holes on a KH. To mount it to a base drilled with the KH pattern requires drilling the 2 forward KH pattern holes in the handle. I can drill for the KH pattern if needed, or even for both patterns (7 holes), it really doesn't matter much.
I don't really recommend drilling the base without having the handle to use as a guide.
The DG handle works fine on a KH style base, but it does not fit all way up against the lower edge of the base where the cover wraps under because the KH style bases are shallower than Miyata style and DeRail bases.

Scott's carbonfiber seatbases are the best there is. I have one on my trials uni, one on my muni. Just spend the extra cash upfront, you won't regret it. I'm also a college student, but it's important to remember that buying something more expensive once will be cheaper than buying [censored] twice. As a college student, I'd imagine you'd rather spend your time riding, not fixing your uni. If that's the case, the DeRail base is the way to go.
No, i don't have a financial stake in Scott's company. I just love those seats.
