ITR seats have softer cushions because Acura's market research revealed that people who buy ITR's are pansies who can't handle the bumpy ride.

The ITR seat cushion (the place where you sit) is softer on ITRs. All else is the same.

I like the harder seats as found in base model RS Integras.

well based on the stereotype of the ITR owners, i'll go ahead and say it.


ITR seats are better.

Actually, ITR and GSR seat pads are the same. Mike K posted about this a while ago and he says they are the same. Maybe wishful thinking on you guys' part, but the only difference is the cover.

'98 GS-R fabric seats are the best (from Integra lineup)... height adjustable, side bolster is good, lumbar support is good. It seems to me the best bargain out there... I honest don't know why people would pay to get ITR seats when '98 GSR seats are 10x better with 1/2 the price tag.

Out of all Honda though... Del Sol seats roxors!

Yes, once you sit in a nice race shell you wonder why people even bother switching out stock seats for other stock seats.

All seat part numbers are the same for every component except for the skins.

False advertising on Acura's part.

I've re-upholestered GSR seats with ITR skins. They are identical except for the exterior fabric.
