Just did this in my friends Hatch. You got 2 options:

Swap the rails from your EF seats, to the DA seats OR
Mark and drill new holes in the floor to match the DA rails, and use longer bolts and nuts (washers), to bolt them in. Your choice. My friend decided to drill new holes in her hatch, they are very sturdy and you cant see the bolts. Hope that helps a little

You can't get all 4 of them in though. Some of the holes on the rails are slanted. The fronts don't match. The only one I bolted down using the Da rails is the left rear one that is back by the ebrake in the back. Are you drilling them to the floorboard and do they stick out the bottom?

I'm pretty sure you can't just swap the Civic rails onto the seats and them still bolt into place. That didn't work in my sedan, anyway. The Civic seat was wider at the base so the mounting points were off.

Option C:

Swap the CRX inner rail onto the Integra seat. On my car I had to cut off the actual seat hinge and also weld it into place on the CRX rail.

Then drill the mounts off of the outer rail on the Integra seat. They are just riveted in place. Cut these same mounts off of the CRX outer rail.

Then bolt the CRX outer mounts back into the floorboard. Make them nice and tight.

Then lay the Integra seat down in place by lining it up with the inner rail. Remember, you swapped the CRX inner rail so it bolts into that side.

The outer rail will now rest (slightly off-center) on the CRX rail mounts. Mark exactly where they lay and/or do a quick spot weld to keep it in that location.

Take the seat back out and finish up the weld.

Bolt your new seat in just like it came from the factory

If my description is hard to understand I can post some pictures up.

I first did the longer bolts, nuts and washers and redrilled thing going on but it's really not safe and the seats were still impossible to get perfectly level. Got tired of it after a few weeks and decided to do it right.

EDIT: DO NOT SCREW INTO YOUR FLOORBOARD. DO NOT ALTER YOUR FLOORBOARD AT ALL...THIS IS NOT SAFE, AND THERE IS NO NEED TO DO IT.

A friend of mine put DA seats in his '91 CRX HF. What you have to do is swap the entire seat pan.
