I had them in my del Sol for about a month. Then sold them to someone on here for $750. I forget who though.

here's my black s2000 seats in my 98 civic. I also had my back seat recovered to match them perfectly

takes about an hour and you'll have them in there sitting perfect with no ride height loss and full travel and recline ability.

Honda seat pans are interchangeable from 92-up for all honda vehicles (some acura) Just take your pans/rails out of your old seats and put in the s2000 seats and voila!

I did it with a few sockets and two pairs of pliers while drinkin a corona

yes, you have to swap pans to do this as the mounting points on the sides are specific to the pans...

plus you can resell the s2000 pan/rails on ebay to s2000 guys who want fully funtional race seats instead of using those universal rails

I paid $700 shipped for my seats and then resold my covers off my civic seats for $100 and got $250 for the s2000 pan/rails so I only paid overall $350 for my seats Muhahahahahahahahaha

here's the install thread I followed on how to swap pans/rails. I think the pics went poof or something but the description is still there and very nice:

DC2 recaros blow. They don't have half the lumbar and use cheaper padding. These are full blown recaros made specifically for the s2000 and cost $5000 a set new at the honda dealer...go price some DC2's at the dealer and you'll notice the price is less than half, there's a reason for that.
