To make them fit you will need to cut out the stock mount on the "floor" and weld a new one off to one side.
Then you will need to weld in a bar right behind the top of the seat back. Weld latches to this bar so the seats have something to lock onto.
Without that bar behind them the seats will be dangerous to ride in (in the event of a crash). Even if you do put the bar in it could still be dangerous.

Coupe seats are 60/40, hatches are 50/50.

As another option integra rear seats look quite nice as well. For proper fitment, use the seat back out of a 2 door integra, and the seat bottom out of a 4 door integra.

Hhmmm...I know you already have the seats and all (you have an eg hatch?), but I have RSX seats in the rear of my EG hatch and they fit "almost" perfectly without any fabrication and they look fine....all I'm sayin is if you got ahold of RSX seats it would be no extra work involved to put them in...
I forgot to mention this before and the internet was not cooperating enough for me to want to try to edit, but the coupe seats are wider too.
50/50 means the seat backs split down the middle. It means 50% of the seat is on one side of the split and the other 50% is on the other side.
60/40 means that 60% of the seat is on one side of the split and 40% is on the other side.
I don't think what seats fit in a 5th gen hatch matters much here since I don't think seats that fit in 5th gen hatches fit in 6th gen hatches.
