Default Do you get more leg room by putting teg seats in an EG?

just wondering, i'd be way more likely to put in some teg seats if I'll actually get more leg room.

I'm pretty sure there is no difference in the ammount of leg room between the 2 seats. Why would you need more leg room anyways? There is plently if moved back.

Would teg seats be lower to the floor?

Teg seats in a civic will make you sit higher up......

No. They are a direct bolt-in, so legroom would be the same.

someone who has a teg and civic has already compared how far back each slide, from what he saw the teg's slide further back than the civic seats by 2.5".

now what i'd like to know is if that'll result in more legroom or is the mounting position going to negate the extra distance the integra seats slide.

also i know they're a direct bolt in, thankyou, that doesnt mean they both have to slide the same amount.

I've got a 93 coupe and I've had teg seats, sol seats, and oem seats in my car....from my experience the teg and stock seats sit the same height so nothing gained there. As for sliding back farther in the teg seats, I didn't notice that but I'm not ruling it out either....
As far as sol seats, they sit substantially lower to the floor that both the teg and stock seats, but I'm not sure about sliding. I would assume they'd slide back just as far as your stockies since you're just switching the rails out. Not sure if you'll gain any legroom by having a lower seat though.....

not really, i usually wear pants that are 34-35 inches in the leg and they are a pile of wrinkles around my ankles.


the only honda i have owned that had leg room issues was my 1984 wagon, but my 93 civic sedan, 94 hatch, 92 accord, 99 prelude and 88 accord all have ample leg room for me and my fiancees broteh who is my height but heavier built than me.

did you notice if they slid back farther then your stock ones?

although even if they did, sitting higher up isnt helping either.
