Hey guys, I did a search and didnt come up with much.

If anyone can shed some light on the topic I would appreciate it.

I have a chance to get the fronts and rear seats out of the 02 Si/SiR but I dont know whats involved for the install.

Will they easily swap, or is modifying required....if so whats needed?

Any help, suggestions and/or reviews about these seats is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a pic of the seats

Im sure it not that hard to install the seats. I think they just bolt right in. Im not sure though. See if you can find a member with them and PM him/her.

Ive PM'd CantSeeMe and ToK so far but those are the only 2 guys I know that have them for now. If anyone else knows anybody with them please let me know so I can PM them too.

Um... I'll take them off your hands for $100 if you can't fit them in.

BTW, the front ones fit. No problem. The rear ones might be problematic, but let us know. I'm curious about this myself...

I'll take them for $125 (trying to outbid Grey j/k)
anyways, back to the subject...I mean if ppl can bolt in their rsx seats, i think you definitely can put them in your car. just make sure the wire connectors plugs into our car first.

If you do manage to get the rear ones installed the rear deck will stick out really badly. It sits higher in our cars than in the SI, they also spilt differently i believe. The SI front seats dont BOLT right in, there is a small modification, the bracket has small bolt holes that need to be lengthened to allow them to fit in our cars. I have a set of the front only for sale if anyone is interested. Only been used for 3k miles

Thanks guys, hopefully the install wont be that bad but I will let you know what happens. If anyone else has anymore insight please share it with me.

i have the 02 si seats in the front and osofast has em to and yes they direct bolt in with 1 minor set back. you will only be able to bolt down 3 bolts on both passenger and drivers side. 3 will fit perfectly with no problem the other bolt will not no matter what you do. as for the backs the bottom piece should fit no problem right in, the problem you will have is the back tops. our civics are 60 on passenger side and 40 on drivers side the si is reversed so with some mild modifying you can get it to fit. but dont know if its worth it to you or to just have the rears wraped to match the front may be easier that way.

Thanks mndthegap1! thats good info. So what happened with the one bolt....do you just leave it alone....wouldnt that effect the stability? or is there a solution?

Thanks for all your input guys. I installed the seats myself this weekend and everything went smoothly. It was actually very easy. Just undo the 4 bolts, unplug the wiring harness, take out the seat and then install the new one. 3 out of 4 bolts do line up perfectly but one is too short. I left it un-bolted for now and just wedged a piece of wood in there so that it wont rock back and forth. I found with nothing wedged in there it was a bit unstable. I plan of have a little piece of metal made up by my friend that will act as an extension piece so that I can bolt it in.

As for the rear seats, I think Im gonna try to sell em unless someone will install them for a good deal.

Here are some pics.

I'm looking at getting a pair (front) of SI seats for my 7th gen. How do these feel in comparison to the stock seats? Also, do they sit higher or lower than the stock seats? TIA

they sit higher but feel more comfortable. IMO i would rather have RSX seats than the SI

The SI Seats are wicked. More support and better looks.

do RSX seats bolt directly into our rails and do they sit lower than our seats? also, does anyone know anything about s2k seats as well (same questions)?

I actually have a set of the S2000 seats sitting in my room waiting to get the back seats in the S2k leather. They need some modification (not sure how much since it hasnt been done yet)but as far as the RSX seats they require the same amount of modification as the SI but actually can bolt everything in and they sit a bit lower than the stock seats
