Default Seats advice - 5th gen

Hey guys, I just got a 96 accord coupe and would like to replace all the seats in the car because the old ones are trash.

For the front seats I'd like to find something stock looking, but with lower hight than oem (my head is almost hitting the roof) and with better support. Would prelude or integra seats bolt in with modification? Do you have any aftermarket recommendations? I'd even go for aftermarket, but I don't want anything flashy not to attract thieves. For the rear, would other honda makes fit? Like integra or rsx rear seat? Sorry if this is a repost, and thanks for the help.

Bump... I'm looking for the same thing. I'm too tall and I want to know if anyone has any experience with aftermarket seats and cares to share some knowledge. Pictures would really help too. How bad do black seats inside of a tan interior look? I have black floormats and they look fine, but are the seats too much?

I have stock 5th gen seats from my EX. They are color code type f. I wrecked my CD7 so I'll let them go CHEAP. PM me for details.

The rear seats I know will be difficult to fit. As for the bolt patterns on the front seats look around at junk yards. Find out how they are possitioned etc.
If you want to simply replace them go to a junkyard. Mine had cig. burns etc from the previous owner and were nasty so I got 2 seats for 43$... no where else will you get them even close to that cheap. Junk yard is the way to go for the other seats also.

bump - this time with less stock seats advertisements, as stock seats are not being requested.

like I said, go to a junkyard near you and check the measurments of other seats. I've seen many hondas at junk yards.

I kinda have a solution to this... ok today I jus swapped accord seats with sum black prelude seats n to me.. they seem to sit about a quarter inch to a half of an inch lower... I jus swapped seat brackets n put em in... it was fairly simple n they do seem to sit lower to me.
