I have read lots of posts about swapping seats and getting dope aftermarkets but I just need to lower the driver seat a few inches. I have a screwed up back and a long commute and need to sit " with propoer posture " which if I do so now my 6.3" head is out the sun roof. I am taking the seat out but have no idea what I will do when it's out........

Please Help,
Thanks,

I believe del sol seats sit lower than normal civic seats.. also if you can put prelude seats in there they will sit lower(that requires custom fabrication though). Stay away from Integra seats, they actually sit a little higher i think.. That goes for ITR seats as well..

One thing you might want to try is taking off the rails of the seat and securing it that way.. it will sit a lot lower that way.

 

I have a set of bride brix 2 replica seats....brand new only one installed to see how they fit and they actaully sit too low for me. PM me for pics and price

 

you can got to a shop that does custom seat installs and have them modify your stock seat brackets to make the seat sit lower

 

i dunno if racing seats are proper if u have back problems

 

Thanks All !
Ya, being as I don't really want to mess with the SRS, I spoz I'll have to see if I can find somewhere in my hood that can modify it lower....... Don't really want to lose the rails either ...... Pain in my ........ back.....

Thanks Again,

Swap to Del Sol seats. You can retain your stock rails and bolt them to the Del Sol seats. They're designed much better, and sit about 3 inches lower. I wouldn't trade mine for anythign and I've owned other "racing" seats before.

 

hmmm i'm 6'4" and i dont have any problems in newer civics u must have a freakishly large upperbody and midget legs

 

quit complaining i'm 6'6".

i've driven civics, integras, rsxs, crxs, never complained.

i've owned a 90gs, a 91gs, a 95ls, and a 92cx, i fit fine in all of them

all 3 integras had sunroofs so the roof actually sits lower than the non-sunroof ones

 

I would just go to a shop and see what they say.

"Your tall, tough ****". is about all I can expect.

pay attention to what the guy said he has to sit up straight, you guys are probably gangsta leanin

If the sol seats sit that much lower u should go with those, only sat on one in a del sol but comfy as hell

 

yeah , i say go with the sol seats, they sit way lower, but the teg seats sit a little bit lower and have better, lumbar then the new civic seats, IMO, try and find somoene with a sol or integra and say. HEY can i take a plop in your seat and see if you like it. for your 01 civic

 

leather integra seats are crazy comfortable... a hatch that i'm buying today has 01 GS-R seats

Yet they sit HIGHER than civic seats.

Do you have back problems? No.

Get del sol seats like said a couple of times. They do sit lower and are quite comfortable.

 

i'm 6'5 and have an eg hatch with tenzo seats that sit about 1/2" higher than stock and i have no problem sitting up straight when i'm racing with my harnesses on. just wanted to let you know.

 

Ight, I spoz I'm in the market for a Del Sol seat... maybe seats ...... I think I will definetly go lurk around some Del Sols first as Vtecin94dx said to see if I can pimp one before buying...

Question though, do the Del Sol have the side air bags or will I have to bypass ?

Thank you all for your help.
