Re: RSX seats in a DC2 (Heisdan)
i just installed a set of rsx seats in my integra today.. took a lot of cutting and welding .
basically only one bolt of 4 lines up so had to cut the other 3 brackets off using a die grinder then reweld them to fint the chassis
it took about 5 hrs using tools in a shop and i still dont have the interior back together again. carpet needs to go back in tomorrow
not a DIY if you dont know how to cut and weld--
it would be much easier if you could swap the rails but that was impossible, the rsx bottom of the seat is welded and rivoted to the top of the rail-- all one piece so you cant mount your dc2 rails on it.

Re: (Heisdan)
now that ive been riding for few days in them im kinda settled in and cant feel the the differnce. these seats arent as cimfy to me...
maybe still gotta work on perfect adjustments.
it really was for the bling factor.
..... also they are only a bit heavier but dont hold you in as well still IMO because the leather makes you slide around

I tried installing RSX seats in my teg...didnt work. The brackets are totally different, so are the rails(so you cant just swap out the bottom portions). Like 95gsrturbo said, it would require a good bit of cutting and welding. Yes they are heavier seats, partily because they are bigger, partily because they have airbags in the sides of them.

Airbags and females don't mix. Especially if they're under 5'4".

Re: (95gsrturbo)
I copied my post on another thread.... the easier way to get them in.
I have this done in my car. Kind of a pain to get them in.. and they dont sit 100% correctly, but its worth it....
First I had to switch the seat belt clips because the rsx ones uses a smaller clip than the integras. Take the 1 bolt out and just bolt your integra ones in.. might need a breaker bar... I did.
Second, take out the unnecessary wires for the side air bags under the RSX seats.
Third, only 2 bolts will line up. You need to bend the slider closest to the door (driver side - left two, passenger side - right two). Bend the end of the bracket where it bolts up to the car outward, just a little bit. Try to fit them in the car... bend the backet more if needed. Hand screw the rear bolt first... then when you get that one in... you need to put alot of pressure down on the front of the seat for the front bracket to line up. Hand screw that one in when its possible. Then all you need to do is tighten them. Make sure you DONT cross-thread them... that could mean big trouble.
The seats sit a little close to the door, but its the only way to get them in without doing alot of custom fabrication to the stock rails/sliders. Also you WILL sit higher than your LS seats, just takes a little getting used to. All in all, I rate this mod an 7. OK comfort level, but looks REALLY nice.
HTH, let me know if you have any other questions.
