You either have to try to put the rails off of the EF seats onto the EK seats, or drill new holes to match up with the EK rails

FYI, if you have a civic, the 88-89 seat rails are different than the 90-91 seat rails. If you are going to swap rails, you need to get them from an 88 or 89.

Make sure to use high graed bolts when bolting these in. Saftey is a must when your talking about swapping seats in. You wouldnt want your seat to detach when your in an accident. Grade 8 or 9 would do just fine.

If your seats are out of an EK try swapping the seat pans from your old seats to the new ones.

Got English? Do a search for a seat pan swap. DO NOT drill holes, these are no were near as strong as from the factory. You would hate to wreck and be killed just to have some lousy EK seats.

I speak 3 languages, and read 5. None are the garble you are displaying in your posts.

Don't drive with out a seat being properly installed, go back to your stock seats for the safety of you and those unfortunate enough to share the road with you.

translation = eye don knead yous @$$1Sdance fooz cos i talks lyk dis beyotch

boy, if you want to get anywhere in the world, you may want to learn how to present yourself in a proffesional manner.

Or stay in the hills or the ghetto

Matter of fact, toss the seats in the car, find a long empty stretch of road and drive reaallly fast of a high cliff. I promise I'll miss you when you are gone. Promise.

How do ya think the old skool Hot Rodders put seats in?? They either drilled a hole or welded them in...or made brackets. My EK seats are bolted in my EF & been like that for 6 yrs! I picked up some bolts w/ 3 lines (level of hardness) and they are fine. And the reason I put those ek seats in is b/c my drivers seat pan was so rusted that it broke and I could lean over to the passenger and touch their shoulder with mine!!
So a few holes in the floor were a Hell of Allot safer than my rusted seat pan!!
Your choice...the only person gettin hurt with poorly mounted seats is gonna be you & your passenger...your choice

As far as I knew, drilling holes and putting bolts through really wrecks the integrity of the mounted seats.
If you have a strong bolt holding that seat in place, possibly could become ripped out or warp the floor since those holes are not reinforced to withstand that kind of pressure.
Am I just blabbering, or does that make some sort of logical sense?
