I have a set ofdel sol seats in my rex. 2 of the hole will work, but you have to make new ones for the other 2 other wise you'll have a rocking chair in your car.

it is not an easy swap. I did it before into an 88si. I seperated the del sol seat sliders from the rails and mounted them to the crx rails. then I still had to make brackets to move the whole rail/slider over an inch on one side to line up with the 2 holes in the crx floor.

If I were to try this again, I'd look into universal racing seat rails meant for the crx. the ones that have shiders on them too. they are flat and have a wide surface. should work for the narrower del sol seats.

It has been a long time now, and that car is long gone, but I remember there being a seatbelt issue too. 88 and 89 si's have different seats and seatbelts, so you might not have the same problem.

The easiest thing to do would probably be to cut the seat humps off the floor of the EG (any EG) and re weld them to your floor in the same spots as they were in the EG. They are only held down with a few spot welds that are easily drilled out with the correct bit. I have also taken the cushions off the frame in the past and swapped them onto another frame. I put S2000 cushions onto EG frames and bolted the S2000 seats into the EG. They are held in with a couple bolts to the frame. Good luck.
