Honda seats in my DSM

[motozachl]

Don't hate guys but after a ton of fabbing I got these to fit perfect. They sit lower, perfectly straight, and hug you like grandma

I got them for very cheap and came from an EP3

 

[thewhiteone]

those look good with your steering wheel, look comfy and functional.

anything else matter?

 

[Misterbeechy]

nice very nice.. they kinda look like my seats.. i have the 08' eclipse seats in them..

But very very nice..

 

[viperlp01]

How light are they? I am looking for a lighter seat than the OEM leather seat but hate the colors offered in the cloth.

 

[Misterbeechy]

as for the 08' eclipse seats i think that they are heavier but i havent weighed it on a scale but you can tell its heavier

 

[motozachl]

They are about the same as the manual seats. The power seats are very heavy. Misterbeechy I've also put 4g seats in a previous dsm (see 4g seats thread) and I like these much better

The Type R seats sit lower? This sounds nice to a tall person to me...how difficult was the fab work?

 

[motozachl]

I had to cut the spot welds and flip the mounting brackets since they are inner-vertical. Then re-drill new holes in them, then reweld. I also had to cut the inner seat mounts on the frame and move them 1.5" lower to match the outside mounting on the frame level-wise because they leaned out

Look's good imo.

Why would we hate, dsm seats pretty much suck. Almost anything is an improvement.

true that! Well usually dsmers against anything honda

 

[my98gsx]

not bad, i do like them. good job

 

[93_tsi_fwd]

They look good. I'd go with rsx seats over the ep3 si seat tho. they're more comfy IMO. Had both seats from my previouse hondas.

 

[SuperFudge]

Not going to lie they look good!

 

[gnen1st]

As long as you don't see honda on them they are ok with me. Good Job i personally love how the s2k seats feel and look

 

[turbotalon1g]

I don't think DSM seats suck, but they could be improved since they are from late 80s/early 90s and they are way too heavy.

I think a lightweight OEM replacement is the best bet for comfort/performance.

 

[Bud92gsx]

I like them actually..

 

[Th3DooM]

Anyone knows how heavy the oem seats are?

Those Honda seats look good, but I would choose Celica T23 seats.

 

[Blurred Talon]

Looks good.
I had RSX-S in my old Integra and loved them.

They suck compared to what is out there now Totally agree

And yes OEM replacements seem to be the best bet, racing seats are just that "RACING" which means they aren't made for comfortable commuting. So most replacements aren't going to have that oem feel even if they do provide the better support. Many OEM's have seats that provide a better race-like support, but still maintain a level of civility for commuting in their high performance cars these days.

43lbs

As someone else said, they look really good with your steering wheel and the red stitching and accents match the exterior so the overall look is nice. I'm still looking for a set of cheap Evo IX Recaros for my Talon.

 

[Akacesar]

looks badass

 

[Killa_dsm]

Wow that looks great, nice job.

 

[targett27]

Looks pretty good to me I noticed you have the same steering wheel and shift knob as me as well haha.
