What seats are direct swap for 7gen sedan civic?

I need help finding any direct swap seats for my 2005 Civic ex sedan. I’m looking for seats that will bolt right in. Any suggestions?

Short answer: OEM or aftermarket with the appropriate seat base.

long answer: RSX/EP3 front seats will bolt in, but only 3 of the 4 mounting holes. The 4th is off by like.. a quarter inch or so, and there's enough material to be able to bore it out with a Dremel and still have it safely mounted to the chassis. Aftermarket seats (e.g. sparco, recaro, bride, etc.) are all fairly universal fit, but will require the purchase of seat brackets designed for your car as well as the sliders to maintain seat adjustment functionality. Seat brackets and sliders will probably cost an extra $200 or so depending on how you shop. Kinda sucks that they're not as widely available for the 7thgen as they were back in the mid 2000s. If you're only looking at swapping the driver's seat, I may have a bracket/slider set somewhere. They're made for recaro seats, but I had a shop fab up an adapter bracket to make sparcos bolt up to them. I'm actually using those adapter brackets for my office chair. lol
