i've already searched on this and didn't find quite what i was looking for so here goes......i have a set of 90-93 integra front seats that i'd like to swap into my 90 crx. as everyone knows, you can't just swap the rails, so i was wondering if a seat pan swap would work for this. i've noticed that the pans look completely different (at least while they're still attached to the seats anyway), and was wondering if a pan swap would even be possible. i know someone here has to have put integra seats in a crx before. i'd like some info on this before i start tearing these things apart.

 

Im almost positive you can get it to work. I swapped pans between crx seats and had to cut the foam a little to fake it fit just right. As long as you tie the fabric to the pan you should be fine (I used zip ties)

Good luck! Post pics when you finish

 

if i can get it to work, then pics will definitely be posted. if for no other reason then to show off my sexy new seats, 'cause these bitches are clean

your gonna have to cut and welsd the rails to fit right. the seat back on the DA seats are attached to the seat pan unlike the CRX seats. my buddy installed my old DA GSR seats in his EF HB and the only way to do it was to cut and weld. sorry no better news than this.





No pics were taken of the brackets, all that was done was cutting the actual mounting tabs and moving them over to the mount hole and weld in place. If you have a sunroof though say GOODBYE to head room. I test fitted them in my '90 CRX Si and found out real quick it just was not going to work and I am only '5"7. I would have had to lay the seat real far back just to clear my head luckliy I found a good '91 Si seat that was in near perfect condition so the DA seats did not matter so much anymore.

thanks for the info, even though it wasn't really the answer i was hoping for. one question though......which mounting tabs were cut and then welded? the ones from the DA rails, or the ones from the EF rails? and was anything at all swapped between the seats, other than possibly the rails?

if it's gonna be too much hassle to swap them out, i guess i'll start looking for something else, although it's really hard for me to justify paying a couple hundred dollars for a set of used 16 year old seats

Nothing from the EF was used at all, nothing could be used. The tabs on the DA seats/rails were cut right were they bolt up to the floor. they were just cut and moved over, pretty simple just don't over think it. and like I said, if you have a sunroof it will just suck for headroom.

 

i drilled and tapped my floorboard for my seats... turned out extremely nice and holds my buddy(around 300 lbs) in everyday on the way to work... havent had a problem in the last year or so since ive gotten them

i'm assuming you also were using DA seats?

 

yeah sorry ... i pulled them out of a '93 sedan... they have both the lumbar and side bolster adjustability option ... i got them for $35 out of the junkyard and they are soooo minty fresh lol

nice i swapped some prelude seats into my ef hatch....that was a bitch lol

 

well, looks like i may have a line on either a set of clean si seats or possibly even some del sol seats, so if i can pick those up, then the DA seats are definitely going up for sale. if anyone wants them let me know.

I would go for the Si seats cause you will probably have the same problem with the del sol seats that you had w/ the DAs. though it might not be as hard becuase I think the del sol seats may come apart easier, good luck either way!!

 

i had a set of da's on my old EF back in the day. three out of four bolts line up (one with a little coaxing) and it held fine. getting my del sol's to fit in my current EF was a whole nother story. good luck with the project.

Even though you got it to sit tightly with 3 bolts, if you ever get in a bad wreck the seats will be ALOT more subjective to coming loose or causeing you more harm than if they were bolted in with all 4 bolts. for safety I would not skimp on the install, make sure it's bolted up just as secure as it would be from honda

from everything i've heard/read, the del sol seats go in much easier with a simple pan swap. can't remember who it was, but i remember someone from h-t put some s2k seats in his EF with just a pan swap, so i figure if that's possible then the del sol seats should be a breeze.

and i already checked and not a single bolt on these seats will line up, so yeah, si or del sol seats it is

 

I plan to put DA seats in my hb in a month or two. Sounds like it will be some work.

Good luck with what ever seats you choose.

where are you located? if you're near baltimore and don't already have a set i'll sell you mine. just make me a decent offer and they're yours. i'll even deliver.

Already have a set. Thanks for the offer though.

 

figured it couldn't hurt to throw the offer out there. good luck with the seat swap....i think i'm just gonna go with si or del sols at this point.....cutting and welding is a bit beyond my comfort zone.

 

I've got a set of DA seats I tried putting in my CRX. Tried many times. Nothing lines up. Good CRX seats are scarce, so I was thinking about welding the EF rails directly onto the seat pan, but I don't want to sit up too high. Will this work? I don't have a sun roof.

That will be more truoble than it's worth probably, rewelding the entire rail will be a bitch to line up properly. The DA seat rails are also incorporated into the seat back unlike the EF seats, that is why swapping rails just does not work.

 

no no no no they do fit all holes bolt up except the the front out side one you just got to get it spot welded i put some in my girls 91 hatch you just got to force them in trust me

Glad that worked for you but TRUST me the DA seats in my buddys hatch did not line up at all!!! I have messed with alot of seat installs and know how to make it work when it can, these did not work w/o welding. I am thinking that maybe there are diffferences in some of the DA seats cause a few other guys on here also say theirs did not line up at; all same as mine. Not sure what the diff is but there does some to be one. maybe theres diff. in the chassis too??

 

Difference in what year the CRX is maybe?

Yeah, but I think some of these post were reffering to HBs also so there are for sure some differences
