HELP! How can I make RSX seats fit in my EX coupe

I recently bought 2 rsx black leather seats and thought they would bolt in, but they dont. THe rails are really similar but the holes
on the rails and car dont match. How can i make them fit

Deeeereeeeeel, Drill that is, on my old Jeep I drilled the brackets and moved the seat back 2" for more legroom [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

it's quite pricey for OEM rsx seats.

Could you explain a little more? 2 more inches of legroom would do wonders for me!

I JUST finished swaping front RSX seats into my 03 civic coupe. It works, but requires a bit of muscle, a hammer, a dremmel or drill and a crecent wrench.

The front tabs have to be bent out a bit (use a crecent wrench), and the holes on the back tabs have to be enlongated about 1/4" to the rear.

The carpet under the tabs should be cut out a bit more than it is already.

Tighten the rear bolts about half way, then get a big heavy guy to bounce on the seats, this pushes the front down enough put the outside bolt in, then you need to use the claw of the hammer as a lever to move the front inside rail in abit from the center console, so the bolt lines up.

2 hours

2 guys

lost count on beers
