Anyone know what i need to do this? do they bolt in or do i have to swap rails or anything? do the EK rails fit on the 08 seats if i need to swap rails.

need some guidance!

 

I'm not to sure cuz I never did this but you most definatly have to swap the rails or see if theres a kit out there to buy

 

i think you need to use your civic rails...i seen a guy put the full 08 si interior in his em1. either you have to drill holes in the rails that come on the si seats or replace the rails...i think this is right. there should be a write up on how to do this.

 

thanks for the input guys. does anyone have a definitive answer??? i havnt found one anywhere on the internet yet! on this website or any other!!!

 

The only way to get the seats in is to seriously modify existing rails/brackets or fabricate them. Perhaps you should consider s2000 seats which swap in more easily.

 

blah im dead set on these specifici seats. so i guess im gonna buy them and then figure out how to put em in. since this is such a new topic to everyone, ill do a write up on it during my install....which will be available for the small price of $1.00 via paypal. anyone interested lemme know ;-) should be too hard with a cut off tool and a welder...hehe stay tuned for a write up!

 

not to thread jack but anyone have a pic of the 08 seats?

I put these in my EM1. You need to custom make brackets its the only way. Lucky I have a welder. here are some pics.

 

ok so by the looks of what you did, looks like you need 2 cross bars going along the 08 seat rails. then you cut each bolt point and reweld it in a new further out location on your new cross bar?

do you have any clearance issues with the center console? how high do the seats sit?

doesnt look very hard to do. simple welding.

 

also do all the adjusters still work properly with your new fabbed rails?

and are all your bolt points cut from the 08 rail or did u need to cut some from your EM's rails?

 

errmmm... another question. did you see how they fit before you started modding brackets? how many bolt holes lines up and stuff?

 

bump for info please.

 

everything fits and functions prefect. they sit the same height as the stock seats. I took the mounting tabs off my ek rails by drilling out the rivets then I test fit everything to make sure it looked good then welded the ek tabs to the crossbars i made up

 

man i wanted to do this full 08 si sedan interior in my 98 ex sedan a couple months ago looks clean...

you got more pics does color match up good... sorry to but in........

 

man they look nice.

 

i just installed them on my ek... the rear bolt on but i welded the front ones... ill try posting some pics when i get a camera. it looks clean.

 

I asked the same question a while back.
Check out this thread, it has info.
