change front seats

I am thinking of changing seats in the 1997 civic I am just wondering should I go with the red recaro ITR seats or EM1 seats, also is there a big difference between the EM1 seats and the Integra GSR seats

Re: change front seats

I've got gsr seats in my 96. They have lumbar settings haha! I'd reccomend them over si seats.. You won't be able to line up all 4 holes on the floor though; just 3.

How do gsr leathers look in an em1? only 3 bolts line up correct? Does the seat wobble because of this?

Thanks</TD></TR></TABLE>

The seat will wobble with only 3 mounting bolts. Try to mount the other one somehow.

GSR seats support and bolster more than the EM1 park benches.

The GSR's leather sucks. Too rough...not worth the sacrifice that leather will be burning hot in the summer and ice cold in the winter. The winter part was the WORST.
