Yes, they come reclined because it's easier to ship them that way.

It can't be that hard: There's either a lever on the side, like a normal seat, or there's a **** you must rotate.

LOLLOL!! ..ok now I'm being serial, that **** on the side, which looks wicked huge,
Should be How you change the back on the seats.

The bottom left part of the pic where it kind of points to the Round thing.



How do they feel anyway, sturdy, well made?
The price is damn good for two seats, and shipping is even cheap.

I've heard those seats are poorly made, as well as unsafe for a accident. There the same ones as jdmcarboy and other such sites.

When you said, "racing seats", those are not designed for that purpose. They are 180 for pair for a reason...I would trust stock seats over those. Be safe out there man.

thanks for the concern. but anyway, i figure it out haha. i've been pullin on the lever this whole time but it wasnt goin back up. then just now, i laid down on the reclined seat and pulled the lever, then tadah..it springs up haha. i guess the seats needed my 150 pound *** to sit on them for them to "unrecline."

I've had similar seats....made by R-1 though. Even then I swear the ones the original poster bought are of the same quality and construction ( especially in fabric ). They're comfy....no doubt....but not safe at all for actual racing....

oh yeah...I probably should have mentioned this in my previous post....you're gonna have to bring your seats and sliders ( stock ones ) to someone that can weld and have them "fabricate" your OEM ones into ones that will fit your newly bought seats

what you gotta do is buy those racing seats.. and also racing seat brackets for an integra (your car) because the stock seat brackets will most likely not fit.. drill holes into the seat brackets you bought, install the sliders onto the seats, install the brackets onto the sliders which are attached to the seats, then install the whole combination into the car -- pretty simple

ok, my DA has auto seatbelts. they're attached to the brackets. if i replace my stock brackets, there goes my seatbelt assembly. unless i could somehow jigger rig my new seats to fit my stock brackets; which is what im considering right now.
