Default Most comfortable seats for coupe '00

Hello, I'm looking for the "most comfortable seats" to Civic coupe '00.
It's important for me that the seats must have a function "memory preset".

I was thinking about:
-> Integra seats (memory?)
-> Accord Coupe 98-02 or 93-98 (memory?, looks comfortable)
-> Prelude IV or V (probably have memory)

I prefer the Accord seats, but I don't know if my selection is good. I count in your help

Do you want the long answer as to why you can't easily have what you want, or the short answer?

"Smart" seat functions (like memory, which you want) are controlled by an external box. An ECU of sorts, for your seat. We'll call it an SCU. This SCU is completely integrated into the car's wiring harness. To get memory functions, you need to find a way to swap the entire dash harness from whatever car your seats are coming out of, so you can also plug in the SCU.

I dealt with this when I installed my CL-S seats. I had the option of pulling the entire harness, as well as the two SCU's, out of the donor car to swap everything over, or just doing a custom relay harness. I went with the custom relay harness. It's not impossible, but it's an extremely complex process that you'll be essentially on your own in doing.

But seats from Prelude have a "memory" button:



it's electrical too ?

There has to be some kind of controller for it, yes. You'll need to find the wiring diagram for the Prelude seat to see if the SCU is integrated or not. I'm betting it isn't.

I thought that in Prelude a memory button working manually, not electrical :/

Another question. Anyone tried to install an Accord V coupe seats into EJ / EK ?

I don't even know how you came to that conclusion. Memory seats work manually.....think about it. To save the seats current position it has to save that somewhere (electronically). And if these seats are motorized (incline/decline, forward/backward) than its electrical.
