Whats up H-T,
I'm getting a really good deal on EP3 front seats, I have searched. It seems there is a problem with the seating position(sitting to high), and different methods of mounting the rails. I would like the seats to sit as close to factory as possible, are there any pre-made rails I can buy that will make EP-3 seats fit in my EM1, or am I stuck with customizing the rails. I'm wondering can I approach this install like installing aftermarket racing seats, if so what will be needed.
O yeah and factory EM1 seats really suck............no they really suck
ANYTHING HELPS

The seats do sit pretty high. Maybe you cut the brackets a little.

My friend had the same prob with RSX seats in his hatch
the whole car has more interior space vs the older hatches
you probly get about 1inch lower but it still won't get rid of that "HIGHCHAIR" feeling

The seats ended up getting sold

Too heavy with the side airbags n all

so can i use the factory EM1 rails, or do I have to modify the new EP3 rails.

I think you're gonna have to modify them to bolt correctly in an ek. Someone showed their DIY a while back.

Damn I was about to get these too. But I don't want my head on the roof. Anyone got the link or pics?

Three of the four bolts will fit if you use the rails from an ek civic. Its sturdy enough to hold the seats and they bairly budge. And yes they do sit a little higher then normal but its not that big of a difference.
