Default Strange question about integra seats into 99-00 EK

So, I swapped 95 Integra LS seats, and have been driving on them for a few weeks with the Integra inner rail.

As everyone knows, the Integra rail doesn't line up with the back bolthole in the civic. So, normally, you swap the Civic inner rail to the Integra.

So, I just swapped in the inner rail onto my driver's seat, and the right (inner) side feels much higher than the outer side... like I'm sliding out the door.

So, everyone who's running swapped Civic seat rails on Integra seats, are the Civic rails really that much higher on the inside? Has anyone else noticed this? Any suggestions on how to fix it?

I have integra LS seats in my ek with the ek rails. They sit just like they did with the integra rails. They should line up perfect. Double check and make sure you did the swap correctly.

I did swap both rails on both seats though. So that might be your problem.

Oh, well if I swapped both sides, they would sit fine, but they'd be higher than I want them. With the teg rails, they sit nice and low, but the inner rear bolt hole doesn't line up. In every seat swap thread I've read, everyone says that you just have to swap on a Civic inner rail.

So, here's the deal...

Do you swap just the rail part, or the entire bracket? I couldn't figure out how to get just the slider off, so I took the whole bracket. Which quickly became very obviously much higher than the Integra bracket on the outside.

Is there a way to get just the bottom slider part off? I mean, it looks like it's riveted on. I'd be okay with cutting out the rivets, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't an obvious way to get them off that I'm missing.

If so, I think that could solve my problem, because the sliders are the same height on both Civic and Integra. It seems to be the Civic bracket thing that's much taller than the teg.

Working on this same issue Vindicator. Wondering if you ever went ahead and drilled out those rivets, or bumping in case anyone else can chime in.
