I'm looking for some leather integra seats, and I was wondering:


What are the most distinguishable features between 94-98 seats and 99+ seats?

I think the newer ones have much larger side bolsters, the older seats are flatter. I also think the new ones have 3 way back adjusters, but I really have no clue since I haven't done a side by side comparison.


Thanks

 

there are no differences at all its the same seat same leather maybe in some diff colors F#^& leather it really sucks in a gsr, my friend had a 99 gsr with leather and boy would u go sliding around in them i would advise against getting leather

 

but they are so comfortable and baller status... bad for autoX?

 

stock leather seats don't keep u well planted especially if ur road racin for 20min sessions.. the sides don't keep u tucked in... i've gone home aching because i had to fight to keep from sliding around in my leather seats... let's just say it was a real pain in the back...

leather seats = sweaty during summer(sit on a towel).. great for those cold winters when u need extra warming in that area..

one thing i like about leather seats is that.. if u happen to accidentely spill your 6500fl oz big gulp on the seat.. it doesnt immediately soak in.. so u actually have time to find papertowels..

what u might wanna do is just buy a bucket seat and like swap it in when u go a racin...

3 way adjuster thingie = lumbar support...

 

nice writeup,


but how do I distinguish between the 2 generations of seats??

 

i think the biggest differnce is that nomatter what you get it will not make you any faster!!!

think about that

 

Generation 1


Generation 2

The first generation sit lower then the 2nd generation as well.

 

first gen seats today will have more cracks in the leather due to big sweaty butts.

 

true

thanks for the pics

 

i think the newer leather is softer and more comfortable.

 

RSX seats bitch!


sorry for cussing.

no but u can concentrate more on driving that having to keep ur butt planted in the seat.. u waste a lot of energy in stock seats fighting around.. and considering it's 80% driver 20% car.. it will affect how u perform/drive.. so it will actually help you in the long run.. no one would buy bucket seats if it just didnt matter..

if u cant afford a seat invest in some harnesses.. that'll help u stay planted as well.. u can also try the locking up the seatbelt trick(tilt seat back 3 notches.. yank the belt so it locks.. tilt seat upright again so the belt is tight across your chest) but that might only work for like a lap or two unless you are reaaally suffocating yourself..
