Straight to the point. I have a 98 GS, im looking to buy a pair of Reacro SRD's without the rails. Would these mount up to my rails. I heard only 3 bolts will mount. Need to know asap. Thank you.

P.S. I hate this new V-bulletin crap!

 

the three bolts your talking about are more than likely the bolts that hold the rail to the floor.

your stock rails Will Not bolt up, with out modification.

 

So my stock rails will NOT bolt on to the Recaros?

 

no

 

is there alot of fabbing to do to make these seats mount up alright?

 

Why bother? A set of recaro rail for integra cost $80.

 

you got a link to back that up? the cheapest i found is on jhpusa.com, vision rails...

 

The bottom of the Recaro and the bottom of the Integra seat is completely different, meaning the rails are completely incompatible.

The 'three bolts' thing you're thinking of is probably when you try to swap CTR seats into an Integra, or ITR seats into an EK. So, you have the choice if you want to use Civic or Integra rails, they'll both fit, but you'll get three bolts if you use Civic rails...

Just do the right thing and pick up DC2 rails, it'll be painless and everything will work guaranteed.

 

if you are gunna spend the money for recaros why go cheap on the rails i bought the rails from jhpusa.com they work fine dont bother trying to use your stock rails

 

Heard enough, thank you guys, will order some vision rails from jhpusa, thank you all!

 

This is where i kinda get confused. You noted "pick up DC2 rails". I have a DC2 (well DC4 since its a LS), are you meaning DC2 as in DC2 Recaro rails? Sorry im new to this whole trying to make Recaros fit in a Integra deal, and just wanting a little more information on this topic for future reference.

 

Yes, thats what he meant. I personally wouldn't go with the vision rails, im not a fan of them. My recaros came with a vision passenger (jdm driver) side rail and I hate the way it slides back and fourth and the holes for the floor bolts are a bit larger than the stock rails.

 

MemoryFab makes a set of aftermarket rails also and they are very nice! Puts you on the chassis floor basically. I have them in my EJ1 and I like them.

Also, here's a picture of why it's bad to bolt your seats down with only 3 bolts. This is what can happen if you only have 3 bolts on your seats. Make sure you get the correct rails. (my friend's car, btw.)

 

Im only about 5' 8", super low rails would be too low for me. What other brands are out there besides stock and memory fab?

 

what the hell is going on in that pic bluebomber? If you put EG/DC seats into an EK or vice versa, the bolts will work like this (driver side):

O O
O X

Where the X is the one you can't bolt in. The seat will sit fine but the bolt hole is an inch shifted so it just sits there. In other words, the 3 bolt scenario is fine. Something was really wrong with what you were doing...

 

So i can use EK rails on both sides and sacrifice the use of 1 bolt for each side? Sorry for my newbness on this topic!

 

Correct.

I've installed/sat in/driven an EK hatch with DC2 ITR seats, and even with three bolts there was no play at all, no looseness in the seat.

However, as I said before, ideally you want to just get the proper Integra rails for all four bolts though.

 

Ok, i have a set of 99-00 civic si seats laying at home, i can use these then?

 

The rails were tweaked ever so slightly where one front bolt on each seat would not line up correctly. He got into a wreck and the seat twisted big time (as you can see) because there were only 3 bolts to hold it down.

 

It's not fine.

The right rear bolt on the driver's seat is the most important, because it sees the largest forces from the seat belt buckle in a collision.

If you want to halfiass safety equipment in your own car, that's great. Telling others to do so isn't particularly smart.

 

Please notice that in every post, while I do mention that the EK gear will work, I constantly stress that he should be buying the correct rails for his chassis.

 

Yes I absolutely understand man. You actually helped alot! Thank you.
