I just installed my leather Teg seats yesterday. All the bolts line up except for one on the rear inside bolt. That will not line up. But running 3 bolts is fine, I have no
probs wit it.
If you want all the bolts to line up you would have to switch the rails.
Hope this helps.

If u swap your stock brackets onto the GSR seats you can use all of your bolts.But i think with the GSR brackets the seat sits a little lower.

bad idea, that 4th bolt is the most load bearing bolt out of them all. you have not had any problems with it yet probably due to the fact that you have not been in an accident yet.
if you decide to use the itegra rails instead is swapping them with your civic rails, there are a couple simple mods that need to de done. the 2 front bolts will go in fine, but the 2 rear ones need to be modded.
first, the rear outside rail needs to be bent down to almost a 90 degree angle due to the fact that the rear rail pattern of the integra and civic are different. the integra rear outside rail is flat, while the civic's is bent down. simple fix, bolt in the front 2 bolts and take a hammer or mallet and bend the outside rail down until it aligns with the hole. 3 bolts complete.
now for the 4th, the rear inside bolt. unbolt your seat and pull it out of the car. there is a small notch at the end of the inside rear rail that needs to be cut off with a hacksaw. you can test fit your seat a couple times to make sure you're cutting the correct amount. basically what you are trying to achieve is, so that the end of the rail ends right before the bolt hole. once completed, find a large heavy duty washer and put it in between your bolt and rail. thus, when you tighten the bolt down the washer will lock the inside rail down tight.
better to be safe than sorry imo. good luck

rear seats will not fit, tegs are split 50/50 and the lower bench is narrower than your coupe. for the fronts, swap the civic inside belt buckle & housing assembly and the outside rail to the teg seats and they bolt right in.
