Yeah. I've noticed that i fit much less well in the integra than in my civic and it bugs me.
I'm 6ft tall. I cannot adjust the steering wheel upwards as much as i could in my civic.. the seat seems to not go back as far.. what the heck. Whatever i do, my knees are half an inch away from
the steering wheel and it bugs me.

Dropping the seat 1/2-1 inch seems like it would do the trick, but i'd rather not be drilling & cutting off metal. Is it possible to swap rails, or something else?

 

I noticed when i did my black interior swap the rails on the leather seats were higher then my old cloth ones.

 

hmm... yeah but mine aren't leather.
I've got friggin' taupe cloth.

.. at least noone wants to steal my interior bits, heh.

 

still no ideas, huh?
I'm gonna friggin' tear my seat a new one tonight.
Pics to follow.. if i make any headway, heh.

Really don't want to get aftermarket seats.

 

you are not 6 feet. im 6 feet and i have a lot of leg room if i scoot the chair all the way back. and i leave my steering wheel low for a better feel.

 

I am 6 feet.. 230lbs..
Compared to my civic, it seems like the seat is missing 2-3 clicks back.
It also seems like the steering wheel doesn't go up as much.. by like an inch.

I gotta be missing something.

 

okay, took one of the seats out and it looks like the seat rail moves back all the way and hits a little dealy that stops it from going off the track. It's unable to move forward about 3 inches! I wonder if the rails are misadjusted on these from the factory, or what?

I can put up pics..
Didn't take the entire seat apart but i didn't see anywhere where i could adjust or grind down some metal due to the way the seat sits on the car's body :/

 

you could always put in some del sol seats. it'll sit you down a few inches lower.

 

I've thought about this, but i have the taupe interior and i think they would look funny.
However that brings up the idea of swapping parts *from* the del sol seats.. such as rail parts.. possible?

 

don't know if the rails are swappable but pretty sure there's some bending involved.

 

bending, huh? i'll have superman and the hulk right over and let you know how it goes.. ha ha

Cut out half of the seat base padding. That should let you sit a little lower. Could also replace it with denser foam to allow you to use less. Put the factory fabric back on afterwards.

I could not find a slider that would work with the factory seat in my DC2 and be lower than stock when I looked.

 

get some aftermarket rails like vision. it'll lower you about 50mm or if you want to go really low, get the bride MO style. as for being able to move further back, im not sure how to help you there. you must have really long legs.

 

cutting out the padding sounds like a good idea, but i'm thinking i would end up with a hard-*** civic seat.
I'm going to look into these rails.

 

yeah, i wouldn't cut anything up. bad idea.

--- You understand..... People have different body builds/types and JUST MAYBE have longer legs and shorter torsos. That's me just thinking out of the box though, i just might be crazy too.
