Default Anyone have USDM ITR or GSR seats in their EK?

So many people have told me that 3 out of the 4 bolts bolting up should suffice and I wouldn't need to swap rails; but my USDM ITR passenger seat is waaaaay too wobbly to feel safe.

What have most of you done to address this? If you swapped out the rails, what's the best choice? I have a set of EL (Civic 4-door EX) front cloth seats, but those seats don't have the passenger lever that makes the rails slide forward.

Has anyone tried drilling and tapping a hole into the floor of an EK to fit the OEM Integra seat rails? How thin is that metal & does a screw/bolt catch well?

Any help is appreciated!

Who ever told you only 3 bolts for your seat is good, sure is stupid, sorry but they are!! How dangerous!!

As far as swapping rails, you need only swap one per seat, and if i remember right it's the inner one, which takes only about 10 mins per seat...it is so easy. I did this mod on the last 2 EK's i've had, np

96 hatch with 98 gsr seats


00 coupe with 00 LS seats

^ Hey Deetz, how hard was it to find those 98 GSR cloth seats? I really like the pattern on them, looks really nice!

hmm, it was just luck of the draw, i went to a honda/acura wrecker, and there they were. Paid $150 for them. I actually still have them,as i took them out when i sold the hatch for the coupe

Integra seats feel 1000% better than any stock EK seat, and you get more head room because they sit lower

I put in a set of '01 GSR cloth seats with that same pattern into my EG. Got them on CL for $100... in GREAT condition

they bolted up pefectly into my EG hatch, btw. Didn't have to make any adjustments.

Pretty sure those seat were 1998 only, but no big deal. Yeah i paid $100 for the 2nd set you see there.

As far as bolting in, it is no secret the the "EG" shares the same bolt in as the Integra.

so with the inner rail, it shouldn't matter that it's from a seat that's from a 4 door and not a 2 door coupe/hatch? And yes, I agree that 3 out of 4 bolts is stupid!
