Which Seat would you guys choose? Del Sol vs. USDM Type-R seats
I'm looking into buying some different seats for my 99 Si coupe, the Si seats suck, they sit too high and aren't comfortable after long driving. I was debating over either the USDM Type-R Seats or the Del sol Seats. Which would you guys rather have? i know usdm might cost a bit more but looks nice, nonetheless the delsols hold you in more tightly then the Type-R seats. But overall which seat would you guys pick? and state your reasons?

ive sat in both and i would pick the type-r seats.

it's kind of hard to say one is better than the other.
i have del sols, but i've only had them since christmas. i love mine, and i've been in a few type-r's and loved the feel.
if this was a poll, i would vote, whichever good pair you can get at the cheapest price.
type-r seats will probably be sold at a high price because they are "R" seats
del sols are expensive as hell on ebay, but i got lucky and someone else had bad luck and my friend's neighbor got his del sol bashed in and sold me his seats for cheap, at least cheaper than ebay...
good luck

yea, i know it's pretty tough choice to make on both seats... i just want to make sure if the type-R's are worth the money

i wouldn't pay more than $250 for either....unless they were immaculate.... my del sols were $100 + my stock ek seats... and they still needed a good cleaning... after a little simple green... it was well worth the money

does the Del sol seats bolt right on to the EK chassis?

If it makes anyone feel any better, in 1997, the only cars on the market that actually met the US highway safety standards were the Honda del Sol and some crazy BMW.
Not even the R met the highway safety standards for neck, head, or lumbar support.
