on my rex its fits well and is comfy...swap out the seat pans; please dont just drill holes because sheet metal doesnt hold well if you get in an accident. The heighth is ok it feels about the same as the SI seats... Make sure that when you put them in you shave the plastic piece on the side because the floor has grooves and it wont slide. Also tap some holes into the arm where it meets the seat pan, use the correct fastners...dang i should have done a write up on this because this question comes up like every month or so, and people just half *** it...but i know if i get in a crash i wont fly out the window...PM me if you need more info

I've got Del Sol seats in my CRX as well. Much better than the pleather covered CRX seats I had before.

What I did to make them fit was use a combination of the CRX and Del Sol seat rail. I didnt have to swap seat pans or anything like that. I used the seat rails (sliding section) from the CRX and used the seat brackets (everything above the sliding portion of the rails) from the Del Sol. No plastic shaving or anything,they work really well and sit low to the ground.

y did u have to make some brackets? i had del sol seat in my crx and all i had to do was swap the orginal del sol seat pans and sliders for my stock crx pan and sliders i think i had to re-drill one of the holes to make it a little bit bigger but that was all the modificiation i needed.
