I have the stock 89 hatchback seats and i want to put si seats in. Will the CRX si seats bolt right in? Please help

 

No. The bracket design is different. They are farther apart on the Hatch and the design of the bracket is slightly different.

 

88 crx seats will fit a 88 civic hatch and vice versa....same goes for the the 89-91. 88 brackets are different from 89-91, but as for being a crx or civic, it doesnt matter, but it has to be in the same group...88, and then 89-91. correct me if im wrong.

I know on a Hatch 88-89 had closer together rails, 90-91 had father apart. 90-91 might be swappable but I think the rest don't fit at all.

 

Okay this is as far as I know. The seats WILL fit in the car, but you have to use your rails. IE: if you are putting 89 CRX si seats in your hatch, you have to have the CIVIC hatch rails put onto the CRX si seats. The rails are not the same. The year dosnt matter as far as I know. CRX seats MUST have CIVIC rails put onto them to go Into a CIVIC. CRX rails will NOT bolt into a CIVIC hatch.

 

Crx Si seats no matter what year will NOT fit into a civic hb. Your options are: 1. find a way to put the civic rails onto the crx seats which will be difficult because I was thinking of doing the same when I put my crx seats in my hb. 2. you can drill holes in your car to make the crx seats fit. I only had to drill 2 holes for each seat and used the 2 original holes from the seats ( thats what i did). If you would like to see pics of how it looks I can email them to you. Hope this helps you out.

 

Yea, I'd like to see pics of how you did it. I tried everything even swapping the seat pans to make my Si seats fit in hatch. So can you post the pics?

 

I was just looking at a hatch the other day (90 Si) that I was thinking of buying and it had CRX Si seats in it. I know its possible just dont know what they did to put them in it I will l will take a look though......

 

probably rigged and not safe

 

So CIVICHB91 your saying there was no way to swap the rails over (even if you got somone to weld them)? why not? Im not sure why I understand why that would be a problem? Im always thinking about this couse I NEED NEW SEATS! and I like the crx ones better. Anyway let us know!
