Default CRX Si driver<->passenger seat pan swap

I tried searching but couldn't find an exact answer to my question. For obvious reasons, my passenger seat is in better condition than my driver seat. Is it possible to do a pan swap between my driver and passenger seat? What I mean by possible is that I understand that the seats are angled toward the center of the car, but is it the pan that does the angling or is it the foam itself? If I swap the pans, will it be angled correctly when I bolt the seats back into the car? I hope I've explained this clearly enough.

TIA.

Thanks for posting so quickly. I found those threads as well. I know it can be done. But my question is will it be angled right after I swap the driver and passenger seat pans? Or will I be sitting angled away from the center of the car instead of towards the center of the car as I should be?

I don't notice either side is angled in either of my CRXs. The metal pan stay, rails, and recliner lever stay on each side, and you swap the bottom foam, cloth, and the back. So if there is an alignment, it shouldn't change.

The seats are supposedly angled towards the center of the car. They say if you just swap the driver and passenger seat without a pan swap, you can really feel the difference.

I thought that swapping the pans would remedy that problem too, but I wanted to see if anyone could confirm. Someone on another forum said that it was actually the FOAM itself that was angled. If that were the case, even if I swap the pans it'd still be angled the wrong way.

Here's where I saw that: http://crxcommunity.com/viewtopic.php?t=14662&start=0
