Default S2000 seats review

So I purchased a set of seats from a fellow member Eyal 951, and they came in. I originally thought they were black, they turned out blue. No biggie to me. Either way I went forward and swapped pans and rails, the process was very easy. It took me a little over 2 hours to do both seats. The first seat took me about an hour and a half, the other too me about 35 minutes. The only tools I needed were a 14mm socket, and a 12mm socket along with needle nose pliers to re-attach the fabric to the pan. Re-attaching the fabric to the pan is easy, although it takes a toll on your patience. There were two writeups on them done in the archives, but I don't think anyone should really need to use them. If you sit there and just unbolt everything you will just swap parts and put it back together. After driving around in them for about 4 days now, they are easily the most comfortable seat I have sat in, in a while. The seat ends up being slightly lower, not much, but slightly lower. The seats hold my body pretty well, I am 6'2'' 200lbs. Athletic build, and it fits me flawlessly. I would seriously recommend these seats to anyone who is in the market for seats and doesn't wanna spend 1g or more for seats like ITRs or aftermarkets. I have had several friends in the car and they all fell in love with them.

P.S. Has anyone put these in an EF? I have seen them in everything so far but an EF. My buddy wants to know if the same procedure is followed. I think it is, seeing as how you use all the car chassis parts, your just changing the actual seat itself.

What do you need pics of? Just look at s2000 seats, I didn't document the process of the swaping everything. Hence me not saying this is a writeup, this is just my review of how I feel about the parts installed.

can you elaborate on the modifications that were required to fit the seats. telling me there were modifications to be made doesn't help me a whole lot.

This thread doesn't need pictures. All I wanted to do was give my opinion on the parts I installed, and whether or not I felt it a good investment and a worthwhile upgrade. This is why I am calling it a review. I used the two threads as a cross reference for doing the work. I am not sure what you need to see pictures of, these are regular s2000 seats in a Civic. Like I said there was no pic by pic documentation done, if it's really necessary to get a picture of the seat in my civic, then fine.

You pretty much have to swap the whole bottom of the seats (seat pans) to whatever you are placing them in. I followed this right up, and used the GSR seats in my civic and they turned out perfect. All 4 bolts go in fine, fold over like a coupes seats would to allow passengers in the back, since the hinges on regular s2k seats dont. Hope this helps.

Thanks for posting another link with pictures that actually work, so people can see how simple the swap is.

No prob man. I felt a little akward taking some s2k seats apart, but it was well worth it and after having del sol seats, gsr, si, rsx and lude seats. These are hands down the most comfortable stock seats I've had as well.

I felt the exact same way, disassembling S2000 seats didn't sit well with me. I think there isn't really too many other seats I think I would want, to tell you the truth, I have sat in all the OEM seats and several aftermarkets and these are pretty much at the top of my list as a favorite.
