i'm not sure if any other seats fit without minor mods.. i've search around on this before and prelude seats are ones commonly swapped in.. apparently it just requires relocating one bracket

what year teg? i had 94 teg seats in my civic, just one bolt didn't line up and didn't rock either. i just wanna know mostly about the civic seats cause i can get em cheap. i use to have a pair from a 95 prelude but only one bolt fit lol. are you talking about the earlier year prelude seats?

Hm... I'm going to be trying this once I have some spare time, but I just snagged seats from an LXi coupe. These seem to be a bit more comfy than the stock LX seats, plus looklike they have a bit more bolstering... the driver's seat also has lumbar support. The brackets look identical between the 3G coupe and 3G sedan, so I'll try throwing these in once I get 'em steam cleaned and ready to go.

i dont reccomend corbeau brackets for our cars. i have the corbeau a4 seats, with their brackets, and it sits a bit too high for my taste. my corbeau brackets in the 240 were un usable they were so tall.

i am planning on modding the corbeau brackets currently in the accord to get the back end of them to settle down maybe and inch or so lower (whatever I can get away with without squishing ecu. :))

i really like the look of the 90 - 91 civic si seats, my bro has them in his civic so i'm gonna check the fitment. i had 95 prelude seats and they're crazy comfy but only one bolt bolted in. i just want seats that at least 3 bolts fit. cause is my ek civic the integra seats i had only 3 were bolted in and it never moved around. both my seats are ripped really bad so i need this done soon.

i have 3rd gen prelude seats in my accord. they bolted right up to the accord slider rails, so i didnt have to modifiy mounts on the floor.

Well, heh. I don't want to be bringing up a deadish post, but I've got a mini-review. I put the LXi coupe driver's seat in today.

Seat rails are identical, completely bolt-up. I originally thought the coupe seat belt buckles wouldn't work on the sedan seat belts, so I swapped those out. Turns out that they will, but since I'm a bit of an interior freak, I didn't like the 'emergency release' plackard on the buckle anyway.

The coupe seats are far more comfortable than the stock sedan seats... it's not a racing seat, but the bolstering's a bit better, you get adjustable lumbar support, and the seat just overall seems more supportive than 'stock'. I could be saying this because the original owner of my car was a pretty big guy and ended up squashing the padding in my old seat pretty flat, but these seats seem to be a pretty decent upgrade for the price(my local junkyard sells seats for $10, so YMMV). The only odd spot are the coupe flip-forward levers on the side of the seats... I have been thinking about disabling these, but haven't decided fully whether or not it should be done.

Edit: one of my coworkers had an LXi sedan, and at least with her car the seats were identical to those of my LX, so while the EFI coupe/hatch guys won't have to worry about it, the sedan/carbed guys might like a bolt-in comfy seat. :)

yeah i think all Lx-i has driver side bolster suport....and they use thicker material ...i just got some 3rd gen lude seats in my Dx and they are lower to the floor and hold you in the seat better.

i doubt about this. mine needed to be modded. both rails. inner rail was easy, just drill a hole into the seat, but outer needed more work

i used too the accord slider and the back seat was not straight up if you use it. IT was looking like sideway. The little part molded is the Lude part molded on the accord rail.
