Leather sucks. It is too slippery, unconfortbale, ect. Go with some del sol seats. Everyone who sits in my car loves them. They are also cheap. 300 for a set.

del sol seats are nice, they sit a little lower than stock civic seats but the only thing i don't like about them is the material honda used to cover the seat..looks and feels cheap IMO...i say get some integra seats or better yet 4th gen prelude seats

Del Sols Are Nice Seats and they Sit Low, but they aren't the most comfortable seats. Meaning they are kinda HARD in the seat. I got some and the material was pretty nice a velour with a grey stripe. I used to like the seats until I got my Type R and those seats sit lower than other Teg seats but slightly higher than the Del Sol seats but the seat part (where your BUTT goes) is much softer. Your butt will appreciate that on long trips

You can also get some of those Aero Speed Seats there was a dicussion on them a few days ago. Someone said Recaro makes them for Aero Speed and several people said they are very comfortable and supportive Sorry no leather.
If you go the Del Sol way I have seen leather Del Sol seats. Can alsways go for KAT SKINS but they are kind $$$

4th gen prelude seats are comfy and they will hold you in place while extreme cornering

Ah yes I totally did not even think of leather Sol seats. In Europe some sols had leather seats. You may want to check that out but trying to find them, good luck.

I hate my 93 Civic CX seats.... , but better than my 95 leather Integra GSR seats...which I really hate!

I wish I still had my 89 CRX Si seats.

I'll sell you my teg seats; front pair, tan leather, slight cracking on driver seats around left kindney area, and a 1/2 inch cut (in a hidin' area) from the slider/bracket. Pick up only, $80 Seattle/Bellevue, WA.

I had an ITR seat until recently and I liked it a lot. It was quite comfortable. I have ridden in an S2000 and I didn't like the seats. I didn't feel as though the seat provided any more support b/c I would slide right out of the leather on curves.
