Front Seats
My friend has Tenzo R seats in his 96 hatch. I have a 95 coupe. He doesnt know if the brackets will fit in my car and neither do i so i thought id ask here. Are the seat mounts the same in a 95 and 96? other forums werent much help, everyone seems to only be interested in rear seats.

Re: Front Seats
I have 95 Seats in my 97 Hatch. Three of the bolts will bolt on with no problem, but the one one the rear right will not line up. You can use them with no problem, I had mine for 7 years and they don't move at all, as long as you tightem pretty good since you will only use 3 bolts out of the 4.

Please, just buy the correct rails for your seats so that all 4 bolts line up. You should be able to get them from a wrecking yard.

Re: Front Seats
Okay EG to EK or vice versa is fairly easy to swap. What you need to do.
1. Have an EK seat and EG seat to use as reference and to work on.
2. Rachet with a 14mm, 10mm, 12mm philips screwdriver or flathead of that size.
3. Remove the seat from the car.
4. Take off the plastic coverings with screwdriver.
5. Unhook the wire that runs across both rails.
6. For outer side rail (sits next to the door) just swap the rail with the EG or EK one.
7. For inner side rail (sits next to center console) you need to swap the whole bracket with the rails. Remove the bracket bolts with the 14mm and swap it over.
8. Hook the metal wire backup, align the rails, put back the plastic coverings and your good to go.
All 4 bolts will line up because you are using EK rails instead of EG/DC or the other way around. But yea, whatever you do make sure you have all 4 points mounted up. It's not safe at all with only 3 points mounted up. When you crash, the whole seating rails and brackets will twist. That will not give support to your neck and your back during the collision.

Re: Front Seats
This is a picture of my friend's car that was crashed. Thankfully, he lived and was okay after this. Both people went to the hospital though. Both of these seats had only 3 bolts holding them in. This is what happens to them: they twist.
Please, just buy the correct rails for your seats so that all 4 bolts line up. You should be able to get them from a wrecking yard.

It takes "10 mins" to swap the rails on each seat...so easy!!!!!
Why would you spend 20 mins to ensure your safety??
I did the rail swap on my 2000 civic- fits perfect!!
Also swapped them out on my 96 hatch...sooooo easy!

Re: Front Seats
One thing I forgot to mention. EG/DC rails sit lower than the EK rails. Using the EK rails will give you the EK heights. Something I've been trying to find out is there such thing as aftermarket rails that sits as low as the EG/DC in an EK?

Here is a cell phone pic i took of a 2000 Integra and a 2000 Civic Si seat side by side. I was able to spend 10 mins by switching only the one rail to make it a bolt in for my civic
