the 99 civic seats feel like your sitting on pillows....

the 88-91 si seats (in my opinion) are much more firm and offer more side support......

88-91


96-00

I'm pretty sure you can fabricate the seats to fit...

Remeber a Guy put S2000 seats in his EG He even posted the pics of it

He said that all Honda's Have some similar base plate and you can undo them and put ur car's plate that has the right bolt patern or something like that

This link might help

I wanted to swap seats between my '89 CRX Si and '00 CX because 96-00 Civic seats are POS. I heard those older heavlily bolstered Si seats were made by Recaro or real similar to them. But too bad it's not a swap without modification, so I flaked.

Correct, they are Recaros. And they are indeed much more comfortable, and much more supportive. Big shoulder bolsters 0wn!
