I personally have GS-R black leather seats in my EJ1, I love them. I've heard that Del Sol seats are very confortable as well. The great thing about both these seats is that they'll fit directly into your car with no modification.

Cloth seats would bolt up as well.

i have del sol seats in my eg, direct bolt in, 20 minute job...if you're a taller person they will be perfect because they sit much lower than the stock ones do. they are indeed very comfortable and look great. i got mine used off a friend with the green stripe in the middle but plan i plan on dying them gray to match my interior.

My GS-R seats sit quite a bit lower than my stock EG seats did, atleast they feel lower. And I love the way they look in there, they match the rest of my interior perfectly.

Both are good IMO, get what's in the best condition and the cheapest you can find.

IMO junkyards wouldn't be the best place to pick up seats. Around my area in Washington, all the interior peices are left in the car when they're dropped off, a lot of the time the windows/sunroofs are open and when it rains, the interior gets wet and creates mold and what not.

I would look around here on Honda-Tech, or local classifieds.

Exactly. Leather isn't really much of a 'racing seat'. I have mine because I like the way it looks, and it's comfortable. And as Jigga said, with Del Sol seats.. You can't match them since Del Sols only have two seats in them.

Both front and rear seats bolted up perfectly. There are some tiny gaps on either sides of the rear seats but nothing major. My seats were out of a 94-94 4 door GS-R, or so I was told. I didn't actually see the car that they came from, that's what I was told though. Regardless, the seats fit/look great.

Probably? You CAN get RSX seats for much cheaper. From what I've seen, CTR seats for a pair run about 1200ish depending on condition. And Bride seats from what I've seen are $1000+ a seat.
