Default seat opinions

Seats in my 96 CX aren't comfortable for long trips. I've sat in Ex's and they are the same in my opinion. Loved my CRX SI seats. What are some comfortable options here. I've seen 99 SI seats but they don't look any better than regular seats. The prelude seats look a little better but I don't remember how they felt. RSX and S2000 seats look awesome 2003 SI seats look decent but they are kinda ugly. Don't really want leather and have to find something can kinda matches the back seats or something that I can also replace the back seats also. Looking for something with alot of support especially on the sides and lower back.

Everyone seems to think GSR leathers are comfortable

Didn't really want leather. I will agree that they are nice. The leather in my Celica got on my nerves this summer I was sweatin all over the place. Hows the cloth on the integra. Seats I was considering for my CRX before were 2002 Celica cloth, RX-8's and integras.

Damn. You overpaid. I got GS-R leather seats, front and rear bench in mint condition for 200. You can get a set of Sol seats for 75-100 easily.

Lets see, stock civic seats arent confortable, but for a cheap price you can get some LS Integra Cloth seats, and they arent bad considering you can get a set of 4 seats for like $50 or you can go GSR Leather which i've had and theyre not bad, but right now I have some S2000 Seats and I love them... The differernce between all the seats, is that the Integra seats have a lower center of gravity so you will be lower to the ground than stock civic seats, S2000 seats are the same say but even lower than the Integra seats.... This is what I've learned from owning all sets.... good luck....

yeah I owned a 97 new and thought they were nice at first and then didn't like them after about 2 weeks. Kinda comfortable but unsupportive. Are the prelude seats any good?

i hate my leather seats, to hot in the summer and to cold in the winter and you slip around in them while in the midst of spirited driving

I woulud go with the USDM Type R seats, they are the **** IMO.

Has anybody sat in the new JDMshit.com seats? the replica Recaros?
