s2000 seats would be unique, but i would still go with some aftermarket ones, like sparco torinos or something similar, but don't you already have tenzo R seats?

well the S2000 seats are really nice, but no one has attempted to put them into our cars yet (i dont think, i could be wrong). So you might run into a situation to where they wont work, then you just lost a bunch of money.
On the other hand, putting the RSX seats in are fairly easy from what i hear.
From the looks standpoint, i like the RSX seats a little more...i dont know why, i just do.
Another thing to think about it, how hard to you drive your car, and are you really looking for racing seats. Real racings seats arent leather, you wont find any WRC, NASCAR, F1, LeMans cars with leather in them. You just slide around in them, and that isnt good for really hard driving. So, if you are like me, then you drive really hard, and leather just wont cut it.
If you dont drive like me, get the RSX seats, and save yourself a possible major headache from putting them in

My RSX leather seats are very comfortable and fit your back nicely, I am not sure about the S2000 though...

S2000 seats are stiffer if I remember correctly. I'd go with them just because no one else has them in their Civic.

already did some checking and they willl fit this car with some modification. I sat in both the S and the RSX and i like the way the S seats hug you more. As far as the quality they both are very good. I think that the S seats are more unique overall in both looks and occurance so that was never an issue with me. Just thought i would run it by a few members here and get an idea. Thanks for the replies and the honesty

I am installing the S2000 seats next week i sat in them today and they hugg you so much better than the RSX seats i sat in last night. The leather in the RSX and the S are pretty much the same.

Man, when I saw the subject of this thread, I had the wrong idea of what it was.

Cool, S2000 seats would be rather unique to have in a Civic. They hug you like they want you to hug them back (intimate moment)...anyways, I would love to see that Zach.

The Si does have some great seats. But for the price they're going for, I could easily get Sparcos or Recaros.

s2000 seats are cool, they are bucket seats with not that much cushion. do they recline so people can get in the back?

i would rather getg the rsx black leather seats, but the s2000 are for people that drive a little bit sportier...

too many people have Recaros, no one has the S2000 seats. I like the look of these. Unless you can find Red Recaros for 600 im sticking with these. I always wanted a set o Blakc S2000 seats

Do the S2000 seats even recline? If they don't, forget it.

The RSX seats are okay - IMO, better than the EP3s because the EP3 seats aren't designed to keep you held in the seat if you're hitting hard turns.

With that being said, I'd get the RSX seats out of the three.

The seats do recline and they feel better than the RSX seats do, the EP seats are nice but they are too light in color i like the drak black the RSX and S2k seats have
