Well i am assuming you have a blue EP and am really hoping you got the blue version of the seat otherwise i give it a big thumbs down. Sorry no offense i just dont like the red interior and blue exterior.

[SinisterCivicSi]

[Jodster]

Good looking seats. But I perfer reclineable seats myself.

are those comfortable? i want a bucket seat, but i'd have to try them first or atleast get some opinions.:) gotta go bucket or keep the stockers otherwise you don't save any weight.

These seats are VERY comfortable. I had Sparcos in my Accord and that is why I got them for this car. These seats only weight about 16lbs each. They have a fiberglass backing that makes them SUPER lite but VERY durable!

Yes they are kindy supports that are put on with velcrow so you can either take them off or move them around untill you get comfortable. They usualy sell a set (2) for like $50 but they are included on these seats!

I like the recline able seats but for the price these I had to go with. The recline ones start at $600 and up and they also weight about 35-40lbs each seat. My two seats weight less then one of the reclineable ones!

[SinisterCivicSi]

how much were they?

[03BlueEP3]

Since I have a wholesale account with Nopi.com I only paid 396 a seat plus brackets and sliders and mounts each side. The total came to $1,090 with both seats, brackets, sliders and mounts for both sides!

[jerky]

what do you think of the evo2? is that a comfortable seat? im looking at the corso and pro also but they don't have ones for "larger" drivers. i am scared i might be in the large catergory.:D i weigh like 160 and i don't want to be smushed that is why i am going for the evo2. man i should just go try some out when i am ready.

what are you doing about the rails? which ones do i need if you arent using the stockers.

:eek:

dam you think thats big?? :(

i am 160 too, i always thought i looked pretty good. but i am also 5'8'' so i guess that helps. ;)

[03BlueEP3]

I am also about 5'8 and 160lbs. I spoke with sparco today and they said that for my size and weight that the Sparco Fighter or Sparco Pro2000 would be the best FIXED seat for my size and weight and also the most comfortable. He said the Fighter is alittle more comfortable but the Pro2000 is also very comfortable!

[johnnydanger]

congrats on the seats... i've got sparco torinos (all black) they're so comfy! honestly i've never sat in sparco non adjustables, so i don't know how they feel, but i'm sure you'll lovem anyway... :)

It depends on the seat some are bottom mount and some are side mount and some are both. The FIGHTER seat is bottom mount here are the part numbers from Nopi.com for the bottom mount seats
038+0195 DriverSide Floor Mount
038+0196 Passenger Floor Mount
038+0099 Seat Base Adapter (you need 1 set per seat)
038+0082 Slider (you need 1 set per seat)

hehe..how about some "bride' those jdm/jspec ..hehe..
post pics once you get them in, I sat in a srt4 today when I took my dad to get his car at the dodge dealer, and was amazed, the seats were cheaply made, BUT they provided some 10X more support than our oem seats, so I need some aft mrk ones too.

I called some places for the REAL CTR/ITR recaro's and NEW ones w/o brackets or sliders were $2,500 plus brackets and shipping over 3g's ..... I ain't spending that kind of money for seats. My Sparco cost me w/ brackets and shit about $1,200 (free shipping)

[IceD out N CALI]

true, there is a pretty big price difference

[StrangeShadow]

the ctr/itr recaro seats are different.

[StrangeShadow]

have them in yet? (pics)

[03BlueEP3]

I have the seats in I am just trying to find someone with a digi cam. I should be having some pics up soon.

[StrangeShadow]

cool can't wait!!
how do they feel? 10x more support and all?

[k20hatch]

Pics Pics Pics Pics Pics Piicsss..:D

[02SilverSiHB]

Damn, nice freaking seats. Those would be soooo awsome for autox By the way, I think they'll be fine in the blue car, but I'd rather see them as blue or black in a blue car.

[02SilverSiHB]

dur, never mind you have a white one

[Robbies'03Si]

i didn't think they even had the brackets for our cars to hold racing seats??? or did they come out w/ them now?

[03BlueEP3]

The brackets for the 01-02 civic 2/4 door fit our car. That is the brackets I got and they work perfect. The seats look AMAZING with my white EP. I am waiting for my Sparco Steering wheel to come in and then I will take some pics and post them.

I'm just wondering what will you do to your stock seats?
Do you want to trade them(for RSX-s leather) or sell them?

[03BlueEP3]
