Searched, but can't find the answer to this specific question...

When swapping Integra seats into an EK, I know the EK rails have to be used. The one thing I'm unclear on after looking at a few write ups and searching is whether or not both rails from the EK seats need to be used, or just the inner rail so that the rear of the inner rail will bolt down. The write ups that I've found only seem to be describing the process for swapping that rail, and not the outer. That being said, do I also need to swap the outer rail? Any help or advice is appreciated.

Since I know someone will probably ask...the seats in question are out of a 94 Integra, and they're going into a 2000 Civic coupe.

 

The answer is clear, use ek rails. If you want to try using one side that will be on you. I like to keep it simple, replace them both.

 

I did some research on this when I wanted to fit dc2 recaros in my EG. If it's the same, you only need to swap the inner rails with the ek inner rails. But you might as well keep it consistent and swap both. You can then sell the extra rails. Alternatively you can modify the integra inner rails and extend it to fit the forth hole.

*put EJ instead of EG

 

See, this is where the confusion comes in for me...every write up says rails, implying that both are to be swapped. Then I start reading through the write up, and no matter who did the write up, any pics or procedures are only referencing or showing the inner rail. There doesn't seem to be any variation.

 

I've posted this swap many times. Any dc2 seat is a direct bolt in for an ek when the "inner" seat rails are swapped. It takes a half hour to do, and fits very nicely

 

The way I have always done this, included seat swaps from a del sol, eg, dc and s2k was, I always swapped BOTH rails and pans ( s2k seats ).

I've had a buddy who also had dc2 swapped in using just the INNER rail. everyone does it different. Only thing to do is, just play around and find out.

 

Nice...this is the kind of answer that I needed. Those seats look awesome in there, btw.

 

I have integra seats in my EM1 and I had to swap both rails.

 

ive done this swap 100 times both ways. Swap the inner rail only unless you really want the extra work to swap both. The outer rails are constructed differently but have the same geometry and bolt up fine

 

Awesome. Thanks.
