as far as ive heard, you only have to swap frame rails from your seats to the del sol seats and everything bolts up.

Del Sol seats fit perfectly into an Integra, and Integra seats fits perfectly into a 5th Gen Civic.

Just swap the sliders from the stock seats with the Del Sol seats... They will bolt in...
The Delsol seats sit a lot lower than the Stock seats...

del sol & Teg seats are a direct swap for 92-95 civics, so you're all set
96-00 are not a direct swap, you need to swap hardware on both rails for each seat

Del Sol seats hold you in place far better than any of the standard US market Civic seats, and are also far more comfortable thanks to better lower back support. Plus they are reltively inexpensive.

They are a great upgrade: fair price, OEM quality, easy to install, better performance, better looks, better comfort. The only drawback... and it's minor... is that since you sit lower it is a little tougher to see out the back of a 6th gen coupe because of the 3rd brake light (just be careful backing up and merging into right lanes). Otherwise the lower seating position is also an improvement -- my driver's door armrest is finally in a place where it supports my elbow, which is much appreciated since I commute for about 2 1/4 hours each day.
