Default Best aftermarket seats for the DEL SOL

I know this may sound awkward to you guys, but I hate the OEM seats in my del sol. They are just not comfortable like every other car I have owned. 97 Integra, 89 CRX, 90 Legend, 95 Civic EX.. I never had a problem with any other seats.

I've come to the conclusion the seats are too hard and concaved, I find myself constantly adjusting my seating position just to be disappointed.

So, what seats have soft cushion for a reasonable price, and bolt directly into the del sol?

I think s2000 seats look really nice, do they bolt up properly to the Del Sol without fabricating?

I'll trade you some CRX si seats for your ..................... nah never mind

I have a 91 hatch with 89 CRX-si seats, and a 93 del slow with OEM seats, and spare sets of both seats

i think the CRX ones are a little better for daily use, but for slammin gears thru the twisties i would take the del sol seats over the CRX ones

Well I'm certainly not rich, so the cheaper the better, with the exception of maintaining quality. Any suggestions on a good model?

I've had a hard time finding seat rails for my sol, so unless you are going to fab one up, or get a sparco or bride, then it looks like you'll have to do an oem seat and swap the seat pans. S2000 seats are sexy, but depending on who you get them from they could be pricey. Somebody is selling them on midatlantic for 900.

i can't believe you said 95 EX seats are better than del sol seats.....unless ur back is really messed up. I drove 15 hours in mine and felt minty fresh. Drove an hour in EX seats and found the lumbar support to be inexistant.

Nonetheless, S2000 seats can be had for cheap and are really comfy as well. But i guess you should try seats out and then YOU can decide which one is comfyest.

my back is pretty messed up from a car accident (rear ended and then tboned by oncoming at highway speeds), actually I have a spare CRX Si seat from the car and it's WAY more comfortable compared to the stiff Del Sol seats.. I just wish it would swap in..

Are the S2000 seats softer than del sol? Can anyone recommend aftermarket seats?

i think you should go out and try different seats because for one i think del sol seats are comfy but you dont think so. My point is that everyone's opinion is different. Find a speed shop and try different seats.
