del sol seats probably have the lowest seating, due to the "butt dipped cushion"...

They are low, but after you sit in them for a while you start to get freaked out in normal seats becuase you sit so much higher. In any car that I ride in, if there's a way to make the seat lower I do, it's just a level of comfort and safety for me now

yeah... like what frosty says. You get used to them and it feels wierd sitting in regular seats, also after getting used to the Sol seats or any decent after market seat regular civic seats make me feel like i'm gonna fall out of my seat when making hard left hand turns....
