Hey guys so i installed GSR black leather fronts into my 98 CRV.

Here's some pictures. I love them! My old ones were worn on the outer corner twisting my back as if i was doing a hard right turn.

Passenger under seat compartment kept

 

is it just a matter of swapping the rails or is there special modifications to make it work. looks nice btw

 

you have to pretty much take the seat apart, separate the butt and back cushion and also take them off like this


just the rails would be low, here it is GSR seat with crv riser/rail (i dont know what to call it)

 

thanks! no special tools needed but there will be several nuts, bolts and washers just pay attention.

you will only need 10mm, 12mm and 14mm

the round ***** to adjust the butt cushion have a "c clip" like clip that holds them in, then they pull right out.. the rest is pretty obvious.

here's the view of the passenger GSR seat

i actually think this would be a good mod for short people to add height in their civics, integras or whatever

 

thanks for the how to on that. that helped out a lot. thanks jdmitrswapped

looks nice

 

thanks for sharing the pics!!
now im kinda wondering if i could adopt the "risers" from our oem
seats to an aftermarket seat rails!?? when i installed/test fit a
buddy club seats and rails.. its too low, i know for sure then that
oem civic/teggy seats would be a direct bolt on its just the height
will have an issue....

 

Interesting. Thanksk for the info!
I like it.

 

something along these lines are on my "to do list" for next summer. i figured it would be as easy as a simple seat pan swap...my thoughts are confirmed! thanks

 

The feel of the GSR in a CRV. great feeling hahah. nice idea!

 

actually i did bolt up my other gsr seats on my V, its just its really low then
and im not in a mood to swap the rails, i just wanted to find out then if the
rails would bolt up! but im kinda leaning into installing my gsr cloths if ever
i will use it on my V.. other than the RSX-cloth ones w/c im still looking...LOL!

 

Cool idea. was debating on what to do when my driver seat gets to look awlful instead of putting seatcovers on them.

 

Looks nice. Great information, might have to look into this for the wifeys crv

 

Did everything bolt right on or where there bolts that were not used cause you used different rails...?

 

good stuff man..looks sweet.

 

looks very comfy.

 

do u sit much higher than the stock seats?

 

I cant speak for the GSR's, but i know my prelude heated leathers sit slightly lower than the stock crv seats, with the crv rails.

 

s2000 seats in my crv. they sit really low but after you get use to them they feel perfect height. the armrest and shifter are so much better. i roughly measured im sitting 4 " lower

 

Nice! Do u have a pic?.. I wanted to do the same but its hard to find a mint pair.. I'm actually looking to get a set of evo x mr seats ...I hope my tax return dosent let me down .. here's a pic

 

Now I'm going to have to do the type-r suede seats. Thanks

 

nice job.

Did you have to worry about airbag lights or seatbelt lights remaining on?

 

There are no air bags in the stock seats. The connection for the seat belt lights are the same.

 

+1 i've also looked into the similar bride seats. but i just can't justify spending that much on seats.

i've often wondered about that. driving around the stock seat feels ok.. but the shifter, armrests and cupholders just seem awkward. maybe 2" lower would be the sweet spot?

 

at the hight of my seats i could shorten my shifter a bit. everything else feels great.
