You're full of crap.

You need to modify the rails. NOT A DIRECT SWAP AT ALL!

I actually had to weld my CRX rails onto the Civic seats.

I have

2 Seats from a 1990 Civic Si. I have 2 Seats from a 1991 CRX DX.

<FONT SIZE="5">THEY ARE NOT ******* INTERCHANGEABLE</FONT> you cannot put Civic seats in the CRX nor can you put CRX Seats in the Civic.

<FONT SIZE="5">Different mounting points entirely!</FONT>

I have also heard that you cannot swap civic si seats into a crx without modifying the rails.

Finally!! Another guy that knows his stuff.



As for you non-believers, I will take pics of the horror that is the alignment/spotweld process if you all would wish. But whatever you guys wanna do. Waste all of your money.

from post https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=166253 crx seat in a dx hatch same thing our asking just the other way around. Same procedure will work.

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by EF'n Fast &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">They will fit, but the bolt pattern is slightly different.
88, 89, and 90-91 had different bolt patterns on the seats. However, you should be able to modify the seat brackets to make them fit.

Or...if you want to put the time into it, you could swap the bottom pans from the seats...but I hear it's very labor intensive.

Measure where the bolts go for your seats and compare them with the 91 seats, they should be slightly different...but very doable. Good luck!</TD></TR></TABLE>

my 2¢

I tried putting CRX Si seats into my 88 hatch doing this. I failed miserably. The seatpan is very different.

you can bolt them if you custom drill and use washers and bolts, or you can just buy one recaro or sparco seat, im sure that your passanger seat isnt worn out, or that you care how much it holds your co-pilot

I put 91 Si Seats into my 89 DX.. It took about 2 hours and all I did was go over to the hardware store. Get some longer bolts and nuts and washers. Had to grind the Rails down a little to make em fit snug but wasn't a huge ordeal. Re-Drilled the Holes and Voila they went in like Fylnn..

Here is the Pics of the seats.
