i don't know if its true or not, but i read in another thread that del sol seats give you more head room. does this mean you sit lower in the car? if so, how much lower? i want del sol seats, but being short, im not sure i would have good enough visibility. thanks.

ps. im 5'7"

 

I'm only 5' 10" and they do sit lower, but not low enough to be a problem. You can just see my neck and head over the doorsill though. I love my Sol seats and would'nt trade them for anything (seriously, I've owned a corbeau seat)

 

cool, thanks. i really think im going to buy them. i have heard nothing but good things about them so far. i guess at this point, i should just go for it.

peace

 

they are great seats, just make sure they are still on good condition which is pretty hard to find nowadays. Check for "wrinkling" in the cloth. Good luck with it and dont pay too much for it. If you're over $300 keep looking

 

that answered my other question. so less than $300 is a good deal. i have been into honda's for years, but only owned one for about a month and a half so i still haven't really figured out fair prices yet. thanks.

peace

 

I got the ones with the grey stripe for 100 dollars.

 

really. is one stripe color more rare than others? i think grey would actually look better with my whole color theme ideas. is it a dark grey, or is it light. do you have a pictures of them?

 

red, gray, blue, green stripe. i think in 96-97 or was it just 97, they came out with no stripe. its a light gray stripe.

 

well the ones with no stripe are on the 96 and 97 sol's also i love my seats but they came stock i got a 96 sol and they are really rare since in 96 they only made around 8K sols and in 97 only 5K were made so ill probably be easier to find the ones with the colored stripe

 

hit them up for sure, im 5'7 and u can still get ur gangsta lean on!!!!

$150 for my friend's neighbor

 

matches the grey (type F interior color) in my DX perfectly...

 

I have a set of black w/ grey stripe and I paid $200. I just put them on about a month ago and I LOVE THEM! By the way I'm 5'5".

 

lol. People act like the del sol seats lower you 6 inches or something.

You'll see fine and they're super comfy.

****, I bet from the stock EK seats they come down at least 3-4 inches.

 

3-4 inches would make me smile to no end... Please if someone could tell me that was true Id screw getting an amp for my system and spend whatever I needed to on the seats as soon as I am out of school.

 

they do sit lower and i am only 5'8 1/2" and i can see perfectly, p.s. they are in a del sol

 

I love my '97 Sol seats (no stripe) and I wouldn't trade them for anything else.



I wish I had a comparison shot of the stock Civic seat, but you can see how low the Sol seats are:

 

im 5-7 too and i love my seat. i see fine, but when i just put the seat back and cruise, people say i look like a midget.

Can you get a picture of them from the front bottom? so I can see how low they sit in the car? I noticed before Del Sol seats are recessed, but I never knew by how much

 

Just get them i don't know anyone who's been upset with their purchase...

man i know how that is...i'm almost 6'2" and people still say I look tiny in my corbeau seat.

 

I'm 6'1 and i fit nicely in my sol. I sat in a hatch once and my knees hit the steering wheel. And to the 97 sol seats I love mine :-P

 

im definately getting them...i just want to find them for the right price. im going to try the junkyards around here and see what i can find. it seems that based on what others are paying, if i wait, the right deal will pop up. thanks guys.

edit: does anyone have a writeup of putting them into an eg. its not bolt in is it? i tried searching, but found nothing.

it's just swapping the EG rails with the Del Sol rails, nothing complicated really.
