i have a 96' civic Dx and went to the junk yard the other day and saw some absolutely gorgeous rear seats that matched the pattern of my current fronts - Looked like they were 2009 - so i bought the bottom and two rear halves. They were from a 99' civic i believe - THEY DO NOT FIT - the little metal u's if you want to call them are in different locations and i have not even checked out the two upright sections to see if they'd fit. Does anyone know anything about this????

 

"EK" seats should all be the same I thought.

 

yea you should sell me your rear seats after you get these new ones.

 

are you sure you got the right ones for your car? Hatches are 50/50, everything else is 60/40.

 

^^^ he's absolutely got it
Are they from a coupe/sedan or hatch?

Try to modify

 

they're from a 99 hatch - absolutely crazy i know- but the metal u's are spread 2'' apart further than the old ones

 

ttt

 

I vaguely remember something crazy like 96 being slightly different than 97-00 or something..I don't know. I am sure that is not correct. But I thought I read something crazy like that. Hopefully someone can chime in who knows for sure what the deal is.

 

the only difference between the 96 and 97-00 is a side impact beam that sits under the rear seat right in the front on all 97-00 hatches.

 

Just use some GSR DC rear leathers (only from a coupe) and call it a day.

 

So are you saying that rear leathers out of a DC Coupe will fit perfectly in a cvic coupe? I have RSX leathers in the front and I've been searching for rear leathers that match and fit perfectly. Any suggestions? (sorry to thread jack)

 

They fit but not absolutely perfect. They still look awesome. My bro had a full set of GSR leathers front and rear in his 99 EK hatch.

 

just take them apart and swap the metal brackets on the cushions and zip tie them back to the metal bracket, thats how i did my itr rear seats cuz the metal bars or hinges would fit right.

 

exaclty - yeah i think im going to have to rip out the metal u brackets on the bottom and reposition them both so they'll work.

 

modify it is ur only option i think

 

yea check m build thread u can see how the itr seats fit in the rear, there are some gaps but it dont bother me

 

lol - they bolt in correctly its just the metal bracket u's on the bottom - I thought all ek seats were the same but they're deff. not

 

im not sure about the hatches but in my coupe there is no seats that fit in the back other than civic seats i have leather front and back but had to seriously modify the rear uppers and reuppaulster the bottom using the stock base really tidious job but the results are great.

 

Put GSR rear seat back,they look the best..they mite not fit perfect but you'll have to jerryrig up a lil!!

 

if if u have a ek hatch they are like the eg or dc, da , rsx seats a 50/50 split but if u have a coupe they are a 60/40 split i was thinkin u might be able to to take offthe bottom bracket and re weld it in the center
