ive had those in my car and i can defently tell you they do not hold you i place. First off their leather. cloth is the way to go if you want to corner and be held in place. My stock civic seats(the ugly ones) held me better. BTW i have nothing agaisnt those seats the leather feels nice but i kept flying out of my seat after i put them in so i took them out.

to the contrary, i think those will hold you way better than stock civic seats. i had a 95 hb and the seats were crap. first of all they're too high, second they have no side support whatsoever and if you take a fast corner your face ends up in your window. as you can see from the photo those seats have a real nice side support and i'm happy with mine. i will agree that cloth is better for that purpose though.
but i'll be diching mine for a pair of recaro SRD's anyway...

ok well im sure the cloth prelude seats will work better than the leather, but i was more referring to their design. and i highly doubt your civic seats performed better.

hmm, not sure about that one. i used to own an eg hatch with the cloth seats. and a 4g vtec with cloth seats.

the eg seats do hold pretty well though they look like much lateral support isn't offered. only in cloth form though, the vinyl's suck on the cx's.

as for the leathers, i have yet to sit in any leather seat that offers good lateral support. unless your back is wet from sweat. you just slide side to side, even in the 4g seats.

Both the civic seats and leather prelude seats suck. Ive never sat in a cloth prelude seat so i cant say. But i did have both the stock seat and the leather prelude seat and the cloth civic was better. The cloth prelude seat might hold better than the cloth civic but the leather WILL NOT. Plan and simple i corner hard in my car and i tend to notice things like this. ..... If you want real support get some racing seats i did and love them. if you want to corner hard and be held in place DO NOT GET LEATHER. get cloth.

owned a civic hb, crx, and 4 preludes so he knows about seats.
any prelude seat is better than any usdm civic seat. period. leather or not.
