Please contribute to this "FAQ for Integra rear seat into Civic"
Trying to put together a faq for integra rear seats into various model civics. This question seems to come up a lot and I have to end up searching for other people and I don't want to do that anymore. Please only list what fits without serious modification... Here is what I have so far...
Integra coupe seats fit in 92-95 hatches
Integra sedan seats fin in 92-95 coupes
Integra sedan seats fit in 92-95 sedans
Integra sedan seats DO NOT fit in 96-00 coupes.
Integra coupe seats fit in 92-95 hatches
Integra sedan seats fin in 92-95 coupes
Integra sedan seats fit in 92-95 sedans
Integra sedan seats DO NOT fit in 96-00 coupes.

I've read that only the 4 door seats fit into hatches. Otherwise, I'd have bought some seats off a guy here to match my fronts.

yes you do need the bottom rear seat of a 4 door to make it work otherwise your going to have huge gaps...

So do you have to have the top from a coupe and the bottom from a sedan?

The rear back cushion seats out of 2dr Integra can fit into a 96-00 Civic hatch by swaping the frames. But what I don't get is for the bottom you use a 4dr integra bottom cushion, but how do you swap frames, because I know it doesn't bolt right in correct me if I'm wrong?

i never said the 2 door wont fit, of course it will fit if you like seeing gaps. the 4 door ones will make it have no gap. as far as the rail goes you use the one off the 4 door. you just have to mod the medal chasis frame by cutting a slot so that the 4 door seat frame will hook on, after that the bolt in the middle should still be the same i cant remember if it was for mines or if i had to pre make a hole for it

I'm sure with a little tweaking the coupe bottom could fit in the hatch. Mabye stuff a little foam under the carpet, remove a little foam from the seat so it sits a hair lower maybe just to close that gap a bit. I have GSR front seats right now, and I doubt I'll be able to find rear 4 doors that will match at a price I can afford.

I bought a set of sedan integra seats for my 93 civic coupe and they did not fit at all. Keep in mind I researched quite a bit before I bought these because I have to drive 5 hours round trip to get them. The back part was too narrow and left big gaps on the sides and the bottom seat portion was too wide. It wouldnt fit at all in my coupe. I dont know if anyone has actually done this or they are just gathering information from other people but sedan seats do not fit in a coupe.

But they do fit.

Regarding 1996-2000 Honda Civic Coupe:
This make/model has the most problems with finding different seats to fit in the rear. Nothing from an ITR or CTR completely fits.
DC2 ITR seats do not fit, period.
EK9 CTR seats do not fit, period.
DB8 ITR bottom of the seats fit in perfect as a replacement.
The back rests are a ONE PIECE not a 60/40 like coupes or 50/50 like DC coupes/EK hatches. Thus, they DO NOT fit any besides a 4DR Integra or 4DR 96-00 Civic.
(Note: If you're putting it into your 4DR Civic you have to remove the little hook that connects the back seats together, you will see it once your emove your stock seats. It's weld's look pretty weak, so it shouldn't be TOO hard to remove.)
Only 06+ Civic Si Coupe seats bolt-in completely to a 96-00 Civic Coupe. Good luck finding that !
I will update if someone does find ITR/CTR rear seats to fit into 96-00 coupe.. somehow.

Re: Working on Integra rear seat into civic FAQ, please contribute.
i would like to see some pics of the db8 bottoms installed in a 96-00 coupe. I just bought some and don't see anyway how they could fit unless you like huge gaps. I installed them in my car and quickly removed them cause of the ridiculous fitment. I'm not gonna cut my side panels to make some seats fit. The only reasonable way i see to make them fit accurately is to have the stock coupe seats recovered with the ITR material.

I've been reading that rear bottom from 4dr integra fits perfectly into ej1 coupe and almost bought seats from integra sedan. Can someone confirm what it takes to install rear seat bottom from integra sedan into eg coupe? Would ek sedan or coupe rear bottom work better?

Do you have pics of the modifications needed?
I don't think you can call it "fit" if the panels need to be cut.

Re: Working on Integra rear seat into civic FAQ, please contribute.
And I agree if the panels have to be cut then no, I can't say that qualifies as "fitting". I have a '95 coupe (Ej1) w/ ITR fronts and would like to match the rears but so far "bluebomber" is the only one i've seen (after lots of searching) who mention's having to cut anything. So more solid info, or better yet PICTURES would be very helpful.
I actually have some cash to spend and gotta know if reupholstering the civic rears to match is going to be my only real option? I'd REALLY prefer fitting the ITR's if it's possible to look good w/o cutting.

Since I'm in the middle of researching this same topic I thought I'd breath new life into this thread.

I'm actually having custom panels made for my car so it looks cleaner than the cuts. I'm sorry I can't provide pictures right now. I'm one of a few people that are doing this and I'm not trying to get copied just yet.

Re: Working on Integra rear seat into civic FAQ, please contribute.
DB8 rears aren't going to fit into EJ1 without cutting panels. That's the only way I can see it working and keeping the rear panels. Your only other option is going to be removing the panels altogether. If you do that, the top and bottom seats fit just fine. If you want them to latch correctly, I've been looking into modding a 92-95 sedan or DB8 rear latch mechanism into my rear shelf where the speakers are under the rear window.
