I just got a set of Del Sol seats for my EG, and i've read that theyre slightly lower when mounted w/ the civic's rails. How much lower are we talking about? And will it be a problem with airbag height?

Thanks!!!

 

i think no more than an inch difference. air bags are not meant for a certain height other wise you car would have been custom made to suite your height

I've just heard that some aftermarket seats aren't situated correctly for safe airbag deployment, so I was wondering if the seats are that drastic of a change.

An inch isnt bad at all!

Thanks!

 

i have del sol seats in my eg and i love them. They sit about 1.5-2 inches lower. Its a big-time noticable difference. But its for the better. Feels sportier and they are WAY more comfortable then the crappy eg seats.

Nope, won't be a problem. But if you want to be sure, get tilt wheel steering.

 

hope they arent too bad, im getting some today

 

Those seats will drop you down lower than an inch

So why is it that small kids (under 4 years or 60 lbs) can't sit in the front seat when there is an air bag. True this person is probably not either one, but it still does have a slight effect.

This is a good question, I've been looking to get some del sol seats. Seeing as I'm 6'3", sitting a little lower would help.

I would think that being so small, a child could get seriously injured, maybe even killed if an airbag went off. I can imagine the airbag popping so strong, that it could break a neck.

 

Yes, that's what I assume...The airbag is set to inflate at about breast height, with our faces hitting the upper portion- im assuming a small child getting the inflation in the face can snap a spine or choke them or something....

If it doesnt lower it that much, then no worries!

 

just put mine in, they are lower, but not that much lower, more of a sportier ride. if you want your air bag in yoru chest, lower the steering wheel, i did, wasnt comfy but was possible.
