your only hope is to swap the whole seat pan, i believe. I don't know anything about the seat you have, but the generally excepted method for most seat swaps is that you need to swap the seat pan and rails. if you search for "seat pan" and check archived, you will probably find what you need.

If you have to ask, dont do it, not flaming you byt you prolly dont have the ability. I attempted a seat swap in my 4 gen hatch years ago, it went horrible and i ended up driving the car around with the seats bolted in with 1 bolt.

i have late 90's prelude seats (well they're in the donor car and will be in the new whip soon) in my hatch... it's an 89. i had to drill two new holes through the floor pan and bolt them down... then what i'm doing for the second front hole is using bolts with the self locking square part just under the head (we use them @ uahul for mounting trailor hitches). its NOT easy by any means.

I had s2000 seats in my 90 dx at one time.

I paid a guy to cut and weld the s2k seats to the DX rails.

Came out pretty nice, however a word of caution.

Almost all types of newer seats are going to have a much taller pan, meaning your *** is going to be at least a good 2 inches higher then in the factory seat.

It changes the perspective of the car somewhat, and if your 6 feet + tall it may become an issue with the headliner.

Don't do it man. I have an EK myself as well, the civic seats from that gen suck. I switched mine to 98 GSR seats, comfort and support are night and day, the Integra seats are way better. They too will sit high of coarse.
