Default New Si Seats copies?

the new Civic Si seats look like exact copies of the R seats, but thye provide more support and have a nicer look to them.

Anyone thought about putting these in to an R? They would look almost completely stock.

Not a bad idea IMO.

no, stock seats suck. Si seats won't be that much better off. Just get some buckets... once you go bucket, you never go back to any sort of stock seats.

I hear those RSX-S seats are prety nice, too!
You'd think so by looking at them, but they're not special at all. They look like very supportive seats, but they don't offer much support, and when you hit a turn hard, you almost slip out of them

Overall i wasn't impressed with them

Plus they are leather which makes them suck more

the new Si seats are simply RSX seats with the alcantara fabric

i don't think the si seats have the type r bouncy material found in the middle of itr seats...or do they? that bouncy stuff actually helps with the suspension butt comfort

haha..no, that would have to do with the cushion and springs on the ITR seats..not the covering fabric!!

The fabric in the middle of the Si seats is different. I don't like it as much. You can see the seat cushioning through them. The Si seats also didn't seem as comfortable. Maybe I'm just too used to the seats in my R.

I think you can get the Si seats w/o the side bags. (I think.) I've thought about getting them for their shoulder support if nothing else, but if they end up costing as much as Sparcos or Recaros then why bother. Maybe a newbie with an Si will sell his on ebay.
