not true.. 88, 89 seats and 90,91 seats have diff mount locations.. if you want to use 90, 91 seats, on a 88,89, you have to switch one bracket on each seat.. this is for a hatch not sure about crx but it's prob the same

you have to switch the out outside bracket on each seat.. well i take that back.. what you need to do is remove the outside bracket mounts on each side.. remove them from all four seats, and weld the 88,89 mounts on the 90,91 seats, or vise versa.. be careful welding these, put some wet towels in between the metal, and seat foam.. have some water close by too.. I remember I almost torched the seats when i did this years and years ago..

There are many writeups for a seat pan swap in the FAQ section, or you can find a few by searching.

if you can not do a seat pan swap then try to just make a bracket that can mount the seats
