No.

Have to swap the inner rails. Inside rear bolt won't line up and it's extremely unsafe to just leave it like that. Swapping the rails takes about 10-15 minutes tops.

Teg seats bolt up exactly, and are similar and IMHO better than the 00 SI seats.

99-00 Si seats would be a downgrade in an EG, teggy seats are the way to go

EJ/EK seats are so bulky, and as mentioned above offer no side support whatsoever.

I hate the pattern on the SI seats as well. 5th gen seats aren't any better at all.

I paid 100 for my 00 teg seats and don't regret a single cent. I was taking 45-1 hour trips to get to work and my stock seats were killing me, no problems anymore. If you have a really really good deal on SI seats...like 20 dollars...ok maybe, then sell them and buy teg seats

I got really lucky. Got a set of '09 Si seats in mint condition for $100.

Had a friend with a metal shop "re-make" the brackets to match my current ones. Welded an extra piece of keystock on there just to be safe and now they bolt into any ek.

So comfortable. Black and red stitching. The only downside is the seats take up a little too much space in the floorboard. Hard to use the levers on the side.

I didn't know my brain power was so captivating.

I just prowl craigslist.

Not many good deals lately. Still trying to find a CF or black hood, and another AP1 steering wheel for less than $300

Lmao, everytime you mention your find *damn you autocorrect*

Craigslist here sucks.

I do want a CF hood. Found a brand new seibon that a body shop was selling for 150, ended up being for a 96-98

OP...you can swap almost any honda seat in if you do a pan swap or bracket alterations, search pan swap and you'll see endless options. It's alot of ****ing work though.

For that maybe...for teg seats into a 6th gen just the inner...for sure 100% positive. I have mine in right now and they're perfectly level. I worried about that because the original teg rails have that thick steel spacer so I held the rails up in line and the 6th gen rail sits a little lower on that side so it doesn't need the spacer but everything else lays the same level...just at that back inside rail it swoops down more on the 6th gen. Hard to explain but I assure you inner rails will be good.

I actually put my 6th gen seats into a 5th gen using just the inside teg rail and they sat level...maybe you just had bad luck lol.

Since were on the same topic a out seas, I'm looking to replace my 93 del sol seats with something else. I'm open to any seats at the moment because s2000 seats just don't come up very often. WhAt about those newer seats in an older car? Like what to do or how to hook up power seats in a car that does not have power seat options
