I just picked up a bone stock '99 EX. The last Honda I owned was an Integra and the first thing I noticed in this car is that I sit much higher than I'd like. A local guy is selling a set (front and reat) EM1 seats for a decent price. What I'd like to know is, are they that much different? Do you sit lower and have more support? Can anyone supply side by side pics?

I searched around, but most of the results were FS threads, so I hope this is something you civic experts can answer, thanks!

 

The only difference is the head rests and the design on the cloth

 

does they integra seats seat lower? lol i didnt know that. btw, are red recaros worth getting? i searched them but they are very expensive.

 

I hear that the Si seats are pretty shitty. I know my EJ8 seats blow. If anything, I'd buy Del Sol seats or GSR non-leathers

But ask the guys on the EM1 Crew thread. They'll tell you.

 

Recaros are going to sit high, unless you pick up some Memory Fab or Vision seat rails. Del Sol seats sit the lowest next to S2000 seats. Integras will sit lower than stock EJ8 seats.

Yep exactly. Em1 and Ej8 seats are exactly the same except for the pattern and the headrests. Em1's aren't any more comfortable. I had them at one point and you should really just go with something else. GSR's...del sol's....the list goes on.

 

Yeah, Im not to crazy about mine, but changing seats is not something i really care about

 

I personally hate the seats in my EM1.

 

I have GSR leather seats in my EJ8 and i love it...

 

All i ever hear is get del sol seats their the best. So try them. I have em1 seats and their ok i guess. I do wana upgrade to S2000 tho.

Del Sols are ok. Not enough padding, but they are light weight. I got to run ITR seats for two weeks before I sold my hatch (was running Del Sols for over two years) and it felt much more comfortable.

 

thanks guys, I think Del Sol seats are what i'm gonna go for.

 

does the integra seats weight less then the EJ8/em1 seats? also, what is the difference in the installation between GSR and normal integra LS seats? car is for EJ8. thanks.
