Default dc seats into ef hatch

hey guys just wondering what sorta steps and ways someone has done this before. i noticed the ef rails are closer together and the dc seats only fit up on one bolt, so before i started making adapter brackets to fit the dc seats into the stock ef mounting spots just wanted some help/ feedback.

thanks

do a pan swap
it really easy and the fit will be perfect stock feel and look, all bolts will line up and it wont be all ricey just google it, I found a good write up, cant remember where now
I have put da seats into ef hatches twice now and even have done the rear seats on one of my current ef projects *** seen in https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-crx-ef-civic-1988-1991-3/working-my-%24150-civic-2927404/

but with dc seats it is even easier since the headrest holes line up the same and you dont have to build custom brackets like I did with the da seats

the pan swap works but it never looks right and you don't get the lumbar support feature of the seats.

Or you can find some Si seats that are much better than integra seats. Not just imo, I speak for all those who actually know. DC seats are nice but Si>DC. Aside from that search seat pan swap, I even did a writeup myself it is easy but as stated above the integra seats will be slightly crooked.

forgot about that. in the crx, pan swap, the seat always felt like it was on a tilt towards the drivers front wheel.

Si seats are truly awesome. Better than the DelSol seats IMO.
