Default which seats are better in comfort....ep3 or cloth rsx?

i was wondering what is more comfortable....ep3 or cloth rsx seats? i like the looks of the rsx ones but i heard that ep3 seats are comfy. I am getting the ep3 for $300 and black rsx cloths for $400. Which one would u prefer and why. Thanks

im sure size/weight play a huge role in it. maybe go to a dealership and test drive the cars so you get a hands on experience and you should then be able to figure out which seats fit you better.

I only have experience with the ep3 seats, but will tell you they are very very firm and have very little lumbar support. I drive quite a bit for work and some weeks my lower back ends up just killing me.

My and my girl both have 03 EP3s with similar mileage and her seats r firmer then mine r. I sometimes get the lower back pain when i drive hers for extended periods of time but have yet to experience it in my car.

well i ended up getting the black rsx cloth seats cause my dad didnt like the ep3 seats at all. I got them for $380, i think i got a really good deal . When i placed one in the drivers position...omg it was so much more comfortable than the stock prelude ones and look heck a lot better too!!!! Its gonna be a pain to install the seats but until then some pics for fun (sorry for the crappy pics).

That is interesting. Maybe they had some extra extra extra stiff seating material floating around because my car wears out my back.
