Hey guys, I just picked up a set of 94-01 seats for my '98 civic. Will they bolt right in or do I have to switch over the rails?


Cheers, Merry Christmas

You should be able to get away with swapping the inner rail, but it will be lop sided, so switch both. I did

will the rears fit in a 98 hatch? how hard is it to swap rails and put the fronts and rears in?

mr cheesetoe

Don't know about the back, but swapping rails is slightly more difficult than changing a light bulb. You can get away with unbolting the whole unit for the inner rails, but the outer rails are a little more challenging.
For the driver's seat, you must remove the tilt adjuster *****, there is a 'c' clip holding them on.
For both seats, it is easier to unbolt the bottom of the rail of the old seats and the bottom of the rail on the new seats and swap those. You should be able to see what I'm talking about once you've got them off. The integra rails have three bolts and the civic ones only have two, but they bolt up anyway.
And to make everything recline/slide proper, use the old (don't know the proper name) piece of wire held on by a small washer at each end. The one from the integra is too long and you will have a bitch of a time making your seats slide. That's all I got. Just get in there and figure it out ;>
