Best bet is to go to a machine shop and ask them to make rails for you that will work.

Or you can take the rails off of your EF seats and weld them to the EG seats.

You can do it but it takes a lot of fabrication.......I used to have a set of EG seats in mine....when the side upolstry wore through I ploped in a set of prelude seats.


If you do it make sure you do it safely....don't want to hear of you dieing from a minor accident becasue the seats tore loose.

I didn't find the EG seats to be comfortible...but I did find a matching set for real cheap thats why I used them. I would take photos of what I did but those seats are long gone.

Its hard to explain too...I used a combination of square and rectangular tubing and some angle iron, some welds and grade 8 bolts...yes I could have done it lighter..but I wanted to be sure in an accident the seat stayed secure.

i did no welding and and i used that stock bolt that were used for the ef seats. all i did was cut a 1/2 in. piece out of both brackets and it fit fine the seat belt buckle work as well,,, i was saying that they are more confortable that the stock ones that i had in my car b/c they both had major rips which sucks so i got these,,, they are in my car right now but i do not have a camera to take any pics

when i put my 2001 s2000 black leathers in my crx this was my procedure:

1) take it to my welder.

2) tell him i want these seats in this car, perfectly level with working slider and recline.

3) pay 250$

4) drive car away

he welded the seats to the factory crx si rails, then painted it flat black. people who dont know hondas often think they came with the car.

if you dont do it with four bolts holding the seat down your taking a car thats already a death trap, and now your head will be flying through the windsheild even in a low speed crash.

ive seen people use sheet metal and even pieces of wood to get their seats in, its all a matter of how ghetto fabulous you want it to be....

Thanks thatss a good Idea to just take it to a realiable welder.
A local guy says that he had done it by making a bracket for the bolts that dont line up out of angle iron. he bolted it to the factory hole and then drilled a new hole in the angle iron and bolted the seat to the angle iron. sounds like that is pretty secure.
