For those that have s2000 seats (on civic rails) in your 6th gen, how much lower do they sit as opposed to oem?

 

I've been told they sit a little higher than Del Sol seats in an actual del Sol. So more or less a little lower than civic stock.

 

Yeah that's what I've found. I'm hoping someone can give a numerical estimate. A little lower is vauge, it could range from 1/2 inch or as extreme as 2 inch ya know?

 

Just to answer this thread and help people in the future, here are the dimensions of the seat & frame for each from Honda:

Length x Width x Height

S2000:

23.64 x 21.87 x 10.24

Civic:

25.45 x 20.84 x 10.32

The height portion is how "tall" the seat pad (with frame) is. Since you are re-using the civic seat pan & rails, the only difference in height is due to the thickness of the pad.

So basically, you will lower your seating height from stock by .08" ~ 1/10" haha.

Worth it? Doubt it.

 

^8th gen SI seats are worth it. S2000 is only good for a little drop and leather.

Leather is overrated unless you want cracked seats, burned *** in the summer or sticky *** in the winter.

 

I've sat in S2000 seats in a '97 Civic hatch that did the seat pan swap. From what I remember they were noticeably lower than my stock '98 Civic seats.

I'm 5'4 and it was like the dash was in my way to see the road. Luckily I wasn't driving it anywhere.

 

I'm not sure what the difference would be due to since you're using civic pans / rails, it really comes down to the thickness of the pad. The only other thing I could think of is maybe the bottom part of the cushion is angled downward more, so your bottom does actually sit lower.

 

I think that's what it was.
