So my newbie nuisance got me in trouble for accidentally posting this in GDD and i got back some great feedback for doing so.(haha) Anyway, i was curious if anybody has tried installing 05'-09' civic (si) seats in their eks or any other model civic and if so, what is the magnitude of installation (bolt-in, min. fab work, lots of fab work, etc.)..? the input is much needed and appreciated, whether good or bad. thanks!

 

I've heard of 06 Celica GTS seats bolting straight up into a 95 Del Sol. So you're staying in Honda for the same era of SI. I seriously don't think you'd have much trouble.

 

a guy did it into either an ej1 coupe or eg hatch (cant remember) i would search for the thread he started. Honestly i thought it looked tacky... the seats are huge and take up the whole car. might as well throw a couch in there and call it good....just my opinion.

 

thanks for the input.

 

Here's an almost exact thread for an EJ8. They actually look awesome.

good scouting! tremendous help.

 

Can I ask where you've gotten your set? I'd really like to do this myself.

 

Ive seen it done before. Im currently looking for some to put in my em1. But cant find any locally!

 

i have a set in my del sol 3 out of the 4 bolts line up perfect the seat doesnt move at all....only thing that sucks is you sit alot higher than the regular seats....i have a set for sale for $400 but local mass pick up only....ill try to post pics later

 

^, don't they have height adjustment? Or just because of the Sol's ceiling height?

 

^^^yea they do but the seat is still high even with the adjustment all the way down ....the ceiling height in the del sol may also play a factor as well ... but prolly fit alot better n eks or dc's

 

i actually found my pair on ebay. many hate the site, but you can really find some hidden treasures, if one were so inclined. as soon as i get the bucks in ill post some pics. thanks!

 

cant you just switch the seat rails??thenn they would fit perfect. insted of only 3 of the 4 lining up

 

^. Yeah, it's not that easy bro. And that's what he did anyways.

 

just picked up some ep3 seats for my ek. the guy i bought them from made his own home-made brackets just out of pieces of aluminum and bent them. work great. will see about getting some pictures up for you.
