Anything's possible.
Probable? nah
Direct fit? Not even close.
Good luck though, post some pics if you get it done.

You can try the seat pan swap. It works most of the time for swaping different seats in different cars. I did a JDM SiR Sedan seat swap in my CRX with the seat pan method.

Yes that works with same gen seats and pretty much anything pre 2001.

However the seats in the 09 Si, are ****ing huge compared to what we have in our 4th gen civics. It won't fit without major modification.

They weigh a ton, and have side air bags in them, not really worth it if you ask me.

The width and mainly the height, the top of seat reclined greatly still hits the roof of a rex. But, they say where there is a torch and welder there is a way!
