Del Sol seats easily offer the most cornering support (if you are talking about Honda seats).

Worst seats ever: GS-R leathers! They look good, but are so uncomfortable. They make you slide on the seat, giving you a wedgie and squished *********.

I personally like GSR seats. But RSX seats are sweet too. and comfortable.

I have Del sol's and love the feel. they are by far lighter than most hondas seats if not the lightest and offer hugging core support. Not recommended if you have waste bigger than 36".

the 99-00 si seats are nice, they sit you up a little more and they bolt right in.

Took me about 20 minutes to put them in, when it was dark out.

i never liked the shape of prelude seats. the best option is del sol seats or cloth GSR seats. RSX seats are really heavy so if thats a concern keep it in mind.

those prelude seats are no better than your civic seats, unless you're talking about the older 92-96 prelude seats which are much more supportive.

I have RSX leathers and I really like how supportive they are. They feel great to sit in and drive in. No sliding. Making them fit took me a few hours but im sure if you have better tools than I do (All I had was a drill with a cut off wheel and metal cutting bit) it should not take that long. I HATE how prelude seats look, ive driven my friends prelude and the seat felt just like my EK stock seats. Isint a 99-00 Si seat the same as a regular EK seat with different cloth print?

My TV is only 42 inches, it's nothing really to brag about.

It's hooked up to my logitech z5500's.

It's my super low budget entertainment system, TV and sound system alone is kept under $1000 CAD

Seats were suppose to go into my Del Sol ^__^

^Nothing wrong with those. Ha ha, I think we are jacking his thread. ;-)

Blackccoupe, go with EP3 seats if you got a lot of cash, RSX leather or cloth of you got the time and the tools, or Sol. Thats just me.
