Not sure about them going further back, but Integra DC seats, besides being much more comfortable and supportive, do sit about 2 " lower than the stock ek seats

I doubt it's an easy task figuring out which seats are going to slide back further. That's a fairly uncommon request.

Going lower might be the right step, Del Sol and Integra seats should all sit lower.

Here's the thing, not do disregard previous post, I feel that when i get in the car i slide the seat as far back as i can, when i sit up straight i feel like my forehead is just about 3 inches away from the sun visor. There's be occassions where i brake hard or i try and scoop the seat up some and i hit my head on the sun visor. Maybe going lower may fix this problem, but i dont know if anyone else experiences this with the stock EJ8 seats.

I Suppose i can look into other stock seats, but would anyone know which seat sits the lowest in an ek.

S2000
Integra

I've known the 02-05 Si seats and RSX seats to sit a bit high...

Would DA seats fit in a 96-00 civic Chasis?
