http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEBI%3AIT&rd=1

but will they sit too high up, they are from 2004 ep 1.6 sport in the uk. i have read about the 4th bolt issue but height??? i guess they will sit like type r or si seats.
also if i fit aftermarket race seats ,what happens to the seat belt clips ?do you have to fabricate a bracket on the seat for them?

i noe i heard about the 4th bolt issue on rsx seats but anyways. if u were to get race seats u can get harness's that provide new clips so u dont use the seat belt clips that is if u get harness's i dont noe about using the seat belt clips to the race seats but as far as i noe u prob would have to figure out some way to mount em to the seats but i would suggest gettin some harness-less money and less stress. those seats look sweet tho

I don't think you will have a height problem with those seats, but you might have a problem with the bolt issue. Not too mention the shipping will kill you from england on those seats, you better off getting a set of SI seats. After market seats are a suggestion, although finding a person that makes a seat bracket that actually fits will be the problem, most of the brackets out there won't bolt all 4 bolts. If in fact you do get after market seats, some of the brackets allow your existing restraint system(buckle) to attach. If you choose to go with aftermarket harnesses, keep in mind that you do not want to mount them to your seat bolts, they need to either attach to a roll bar or to the back seats somewhere. By mounting the harnesses to the floor, you put yourself in jeopardy of sever spinal compaction if your involved in a serious accident. I have after market seats and mounted the belts to the rear, it's really not all that bad for a 2dr, and it eliminates extra passengers in the rear. LOL

si seats sit lower than stock. atleast thats the case with USDM ep3 seats.

the seat height wont be that big of a difference, if any at all, and I wouldnt let worries about the bolts deter you from buying the seats. I just took my Si seats to my mechanic and he rewelded the brackets so all four bolts fit, and he just charged me for one hour of labor.
