    They do make the brakets for our cars. Tey run like 125-150 I think.


    Anyone who sells aftermarket seats shuld have a list for a company who makes them.

    how fast do you have to go to need racing seats.

    1. they're lighter (we can all benefit from that)
    2. they will stop your body from flying into the passenger seat when making a sharp left turn (im sure this doesn't just apply for 70-200mph turns)

    But prelude seats will do the same thing, just w/o the ugly mismatching colors. Some prelude seats have better side support then others also. I got some out of an 89 hatch for my 89 sedan and they are a vast improvement, they have huge side bolsters compared to my stock units. They have the same color but a different pattern from the backs but until I figure out how to adapt a 2 door back seat to my car, it is gonna stay like that. I go 60 around some turn (max car will go w/o sliding) and with the new seats I stay planted just fine. It might also be because the seats came out of a mint interior and arent crushed from use much at all.

    More comfortable, nicer looking, steel tubing to keep the seat in well; but if you want a real "racing seat", check out Jegs for some drag seats under $50.

    I found a listing for the sliders made by sparco. They say that they are for our cars. If you want, I have the part numbers.

    man, i just got the stock bucket seats in my civic and they're so comfortable. at least 10x better than my accord. if civic seats from 1991 can feel this good, aftermarket racing seats would be extremely sweet.
