I have a 93 civic ex coupe and am wanting to buy racing seats for it.

what is a good brand that I can rely on, which is around $350 - $400

 

You could probably find ITR Recaro seats for about 1000. Hard to get a good pair for anything less than that.

this is one of those things I wouldn't cheap out on, not to say I'd cheap out on anything on my car. If you can't afford the good stuff, then you should save your money and do it right the first time.

 

Well, for that much, I guess EBAY is your friend....Don't know if ebay can be considered a brand lol

If I was you, I would take that money and try to find some Integra seats.
Sure they are not Racing seats, but they are going to be more reliable than any racing seat you can buy for 3-4 bills.

 

sorry but i'm new to all this..... you mean acura integra seats? they'll fit in my car?

 

yeah Acura Integra Type R seats are probably your best bet. I believe all you have to do is use the rails from the Integra. Otherwise, you'll have loose bolts and then you might as well sit on a milk crate and save your money for hospital bills.

 

Yeah....To an extent. The eg holes for the sliders will match up 3 out of 4 with no modification. The fourth might need a little work done to get it bolted.

I could be wrong, I have a 96 and these are different.

But I guarantee they will go in pretty easily.

As far as the JDM ITR/CTR seats go, you will have to spend a bit more money to get the proper aftermarket sliders and brackets.

 

I see, all of these answers are pretty helpful. I was also thinking about getting some steering wheel without an airbag. If I had seats with 4 point harnesses Should I be ok? safety wiseee

 

someone sells BRIDE replicas on the HT marketplace, i'd expec them to be a bit better quality than the ebay seats

 

then again you're still chancing it. might as well buy fake belts/harnesses with it.

 

Before I forget, this link might help a little on figuring what might be needed to get integra seats in.

As far as a steering wheel without airbag and 4 point goes, another reason you should stick with integra seats.

Unless, you are going to the track on a regular basis, 4 point harness are too much of a pain in the *** to get in and out of just for looks.

nothing is safer than stock seatbelts. The track guys would dissagree, but if you are just driving around town....overkill

 

I have NR-G Recaro replicas. Got everything to mount them for 2 for $440.

 

when your racing seats are the same price as oem seats.... yikes.

 

Not too shabby, but for OP, he can score some good condition Integra seats in his car for about 250-300 and about an hour of work.

Anyway, it's all about personal prefference, so whatever he decides to do.

 

lol there are so many options..... haha

racing seats with stock seat belts? ok? hah

 

I'm running stock seat belts. Doesn't bother me.

Here's a pic.

 

stock seat belts it is! btw I love ricers........ 0.0

 

Well, god forbid a wreck, but Being alive>looking cool
Just saying..

BTW, when I was talking about seatbelts, I was talking about WITH Integra seat.

 

hah true that PrinnyDood!

 

3rd gen Integra seats are direct replacements for 5th gen Civics.
No need to swap rails.
The primary difference between 'R' and standard Integra seats is finish material.
So, no - your best bet is not necessarily 'R', unless you have to have the suede/microfiber with red stitching look.

 

They're suprisingly sturdy. I read some reviews where they were a bit wobbly, but mine are just fine. I'm really cautious when I drive. I do the speed limit. I don't race. So I think I'm okay. I know there's a chance I could still crash, but if it's my time to die, it's my time.

 

Nice... Well, OP, there you have it

 

so then it's probably best to not offer advice to someone who cares about living, right? anytime safety equipment is "surprising," that sounds more like you want yourself to believe in it.

 

OP said he wanted race seats, not another stock seat from a different car, so I gave him an option.

 

lol thanks guys~ I did say race seats. but to be more specific, I just want something that looks good! I am doing my whole interior with red blue and black. just needin somethin to replace the icky tan cloth seats lol

 

Oh the dreaded tan interior lol!!

Think of it this way, if you score some Integra seats, they are more confortable, waaay better looking, and even if they are in horrible condition, you can get them for very cheap and simply re upholster them any color you want!

If you go with Racing seat, it's the fabric dye for you, and that stuff SUCKS!!!
