Rep Power: 0 RSX driver seats into 96 DX Sedan
I figured there would be a ton of posts on this already, but I only found a couple (probably I suck at searching) so I am posting.
I have a 96 DX sedan and I hate the driver seat, because I am an old fat bastard with a bad back, and I drive 2 hours a day. I have been looking around for a new driver seat and found a guy selling the front seats out of a 2005 RSX, so I was wondering how much, if any, modifications I would need to do, to get the driver side to install.
I should note that I don't have to have the RSX seats, if you think a different seat would work better, please let me know. I can't really afford an $800 Recaro right now, so I am looking for something affordable but comfortable. I sat in my son-in-laws 2008 Eclipse, and those seats were really comfortable.
Thank you for reading my post.

if you think the dx seats are bad, you will hate the rsx seats. they are sport seats and not only have very stiff padding, but they hug you from all sides. not ideal if you are more than a 34 waist. maybe your old seats are just worn out, or i would look into aftermarket oem style seating which is not designed too aggressively and usually has comfort in mind.

Hi Gearbox, thank you. You may be right about the worn out thing. The 2 main problems with my seats is
1. Too short, so the 'dips and bumps' are in all the wrong places, because I am 6' 1".
2. Maybe because of #1, or because they are work out, there is no lumbar support, so instead of sitting up straight, I end up slumped over in a 'C'. I now have a little pillow I stuff back there, but a more permanent solution would be good.
Any suggestion as to a brand of a good OEM replacement, or are you thinking just get new ones from Honda?
