I've been working on this project for months now. By that I mean staring at them and doing test fitting every now n then. Its a bit more complicated since I have the automatic seats belts. New research says 90-93 Teg & 90 lude seats are interchangable and 90-93 teg seats are interchangable with my 90 sedan while using the outer seat rails. That seams odd to me because its the inner seat rails on the lude seats that dont match up. I believe my last option is a pan swap. Any ideas anyone?

If research dictates that it should fit, give it a try on your passenger side. But the pan swap will probably be your best bet. Or retrofitting something to move the holes. But I'm in favor of the pan swap. It's easy. Give yourself a couple hours to do it though.

They fit with some welding. I welded a nut to the floor where the seat belt buckles. I also needed to grind out the bolt holes on the seat brackets that didn't line up, and used washers. And I had to re use a seat tab from the original civic seat.

It is not that bad, took about 3 hours total. But the prelude seat are the SHI*. It made by civic feel like a go kart. because it could take corners without sliding halfway out of my seat. BEST SEATS EVER

Well I already butchered the lude seatrails cuz I cut the tabs off where the rail bolts to the seat in an attempt to well the tabs to the civic rails but invisible people on my shoulders talked me out of it. Seat pan swap is my next attempt. I think if that doesn't work ill sell them. I do like them with a memory button that idk how works and the ribs go in n out and the back rest in adjustable there bitchen

I'm sold. Junkyard here I come.

Seems like welding and grinding is a good skill to pick up for some of the common mods people want to do.
