Default Del Sol seats or USDM Type R seats?

I have some black w/grey stripe Del Sol seats in my EH2 right now but am getting sorta tired of em. Plus they look blueish with the blue speckles. Thinking about getting USDM ITR seats. What do you guys think?

The ITR seats, overall are just insane, I cant find a good price, so I'd like some Del Sols. But right now I'm considering swapping prelude (97-01) seats in, if anyone has any info on HOW, let me know.

Depends if you're going for support. Type R's are like other Teg seats- they feel a lot better than Civic seats. But Del Sol seats actually hold on to you more. Well thats my opinion. But the type R seats look better

IMO The ITR's look better overall but cost more. The DelSol's fit better and are more affordable. I like my DelSol's and would stick with those.

i can understand what people are saying about the TypeR seats being more confortable, look better and better seats, however the delsols really do hold you in, i have them and would reccomend them to anyone with anysense of budget.

ive had both, i chose the del sol's
imo much more fitting to your person...have them re-skinned with colors of your choice
much cheaper than purchasing itr buckets
but hey, if you got money to burn, get race buckets
hell yes like i would have said! go get a pair of Sparcos! I love mine

They did sit lower compared to my oem Civic seats (EH3) but I've never looked into how much lower though.

i've sat in both of them i would have to go with the R seats. as for race seats if you got the money, sparcos are a good choice. i had a pair of non reclinble ones for a couple weeks. they were pretty comfortable then traded for some gsr leathers.
