Default RSX seats in CRX?

Just as a reference for anyone who wants to do this. They do fit, I wouldn't recommend them if you are much over 6 feet, as they sit kinda high (unless you weld in new seat pans)

These only took me a little while, without much effort or money.

That requires welding new seat pans in. When I do mine I will make a lil write up. Probably going to be a while, I still have to buy a welder.

The seats probably sit one or two inches higher than CRX seats. In order to get them in, (without welding that is) you have to cut the 2 rear mounting holes off, and make thin brackets that can bolt into the rear seat holes, and sorta pinch the rails down. (not the best, but worked pretty well for me). You also want to elongate the front mounting holes upward, instead of circles you want them to be vertical ovals. This will help keep the seats a little bit lower (if you dont drill the holes larger the seats will touch the headliner)

Its pretty close. You can't tell the difference in the day light (flash is super bright)

Even though they sit a lil higher, they are still 100x better than the CRX seats were.

I've tried Sparcos Torino's, 92-95 civic seats, 96-00 civic seats seats, and 94-01 Integra seats. All sat too high. Those RSX seats look like they sit way too high as well.

Del Sol's are a really good fit. I used the top half of the del sol rail and the lower half of the CRX rail. Made for a bolt in seat swap that sits low to the ground.
