hey guys

i was told ebay seats arent safe but they look nice so i was looking for this (Model A)
96 97 98 99 00 HONDA CIVIC EK EG BLACK RACING SEATS X 2 on eBay.ca (item 280491522632 end time 10-May-10 18:08:34 EDT)

i wanted to know where in toronto i can buy something like that and how much itd cost

There was a guy downtown who used to sell seats like this. I bought a set back in the day, tbh they are not safe and they are crap. I mean I may do few things here and there that aren't absolutely safe...but this actually made me worry. The back support would rock back and fourth, the seats were quite wide and hit the door panel when I closed the door. Also you could not fit your hand in the centre between the seats. When using the recliner lever I would have to physically tilt the seat and it just felt very very cheap. Would never buy cheap seats again nor would recommend those. Might aswell just get gsr leathers or cloth seats. Feel much nicer and more proper.

ya but i really liked the style and leather isnt my thing cloth all the way

i wanted to spend under 600 for a pair but willing to go up to 800 am i in the reasonable range?

you could find some nice gsr seats for under 800 $ . You could also put in rsx seats , although i read they are a pain in the *** to put in

I seen a few gsr seats for sale here , around the 400-500 range but honestly they look like crap , rip leather ... Not too long ago someone was selling a nice set of rsx for like 400$ and they look mint , i did a little research and it is possible to put them in your civic ( at least the ek model)

I was at sapporo importers place in etobicoke, they had black recaros for 500-550 I believe. You can bargain them down a little. They looked dusty cuz they were in the back but some steam cleaning and vacuming will surely make them look nice and clean.

Never had any experience with those nor heard of them.
Just go down there and check them out. Usually the biggest problem is with the back support flexing so as long as that's good you should be fine.
Oh before I forget, check the sliders and how smooth they move back and fourth. Had few problems with my cheapo seats also.

they have some recaro's and recaro replica's on kijiji that are pretty good

for 800 you could grab a pair of authentic recaros, search around
