RSX seats in a 96 4 door EK

Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if I could get some advice. Like the thread says I have a 96 4 door EK, and the seats that are in the car now are killing me. Im looking for a set of seats that are comfortable, and arent too much of a pain in the *** to install. My buddy Andrew has already recommended del sol seats, shout outs to hivelocity tuning, sorry I had to do the shameless plug, lol.

I notice alot of guys are selling RSX seats, so im just wondering has any one on this site swapped them into an EK? How much is involved, and is it even worth it? ( what I mean by that is, will they sit properly, stay secure, etc.)

I know people are going to recommend typre R, GSR, EL seats, but the problem with that is there almost impossible to get, and to get in good condition. Because if I had a chance I would love to put a set of EL leathers in, but they're really rare to find.

In regards to my budget, its not really about the money, its more of what is available, and how hard it is to get the seats in the car. I want seats that look nice, and are comfortable, I got a back problem, so being comfortable is key. Im not really a fan of racing seats either, because in my opinion they draw to much heat, and the rest of my cars looks completely stock, and I like it that way.

Any suggestions?????

Thanks for the feedback, but I decided to purchase a set of del sole seats. I got a nice deal on them, and they are in great condition.

Plus, I have been reading up on the RSX seats, and most ppl are complaining that the seats arent comfortable anyways.

stock cloth rsx seats are nice ... i think 2-3 bolts up to your ek the other bolts you need to weld a washer ..
but the big thing with rsx seats in a ek are you sit alot higher than stock ..
