What stock seats fit in your car? Stock S2000 seats can fit in your EK. Stock NSX seats can fit in your EK. Stock Integra seats can fit in your EK.

It all depends on how much modifications you want to go to make the seats fit properly.

Yea, it seems to me EKs don't have any nice choices for seats that bolt right in. Integra seats will bolt right into EGs.

Unless you like the 99-00 Si seats..I think they suck ***. Might as well keep your stock ones if that is the only choice.

You can bolt any DC/EG seats/rails into an EK by notching the end of the rail to allow a bolt like in this picture. I later added a rectangle steel washer to help reinforce it.

And the best part is that the seats sit over an inch lower... which may or may not be a good thing depending on how tall you are.

The main key is the rails from your ORIGINAL EK Seats...

You have to swap those rails onto your new seats for them to bolt in..

With EG seats..basically install your EK seat rails onto the EG rails..

But I think you should look into Integra Cloth Seats, those are much better than the EG seats.

Sometimes its not just a "lets swap the rails" It gets more involved in some cases with welding. Some OEM seats you have to break the rivets off to pull the tracks apart and switch them around.

I put Del Sol seats in my 91 civic hatch and i had to the whole switch and weld thing. So i dont want anyone to think this is just a bolt off/bolt on affair.

Please consult your local Honda-Tech reprsenenative for more information.

What about rear seats? Will the OEM DC2 rear seats bolt in? Are there any fitment problems except the gap on the one side?

You need to Switch The Inner Seat Rails from The EK stock seats to the 92-95 Civic or 94-01 Integra Seats!

And they will Bolt in!


All 4 bolts

Nope...not without cutting and welding the brackets...I had gotten some 92 Lude seats and didn't want to destroy the rails, so they wouldnt work. If you dont mind welding you could make it work. Good luck!
