nice. more suede would look sweet. but not all suede, i think a 2 tone interior would be really cool and unique

 

i think an RSX Type s steering wheel would look so sweet with those seats and give that nice black accent just my

 

nice seats. makes me want some

 

would that fit on my car? i cant even think off hand what that looks like.
but i deff need a new one

 

yeah i got an s2k steering wheel in my cl blown air bag but its wahtever feels better than stock only differece between rsx tpe s and s2k is the way its wrapped and the preferated leather on the s2k and the A symbol https://acurazine.com/forums/1g-cl-1997-1999-56/s2k-steering-wheel-495216/

 

any update? did you try putting the seats in yourself at all before you took them to your friend and the machine shop? i'm not so interested in changing out my backseat as much as the front two since my leather is torn up. i was just curious how they line up when you put in the driver and passenger and how much modification is actually needed. planning on buying a set and doing it myself. i can always go to my friend's shop if needed.

i also wanted to know how low you actually sit now compared to before. i have my driver seat as low as it goes, so compared to that. thanks!

 

i feel like the seats dont go low at all in our cl's.. i feel like im sitting up high, ive only got an inch or two between the top of my head and the headliner and my seat is as far down as it goes

 

You must be a tall dude then, i feel like i've got plenty of headroom in my CL, I'm like 5'10.5"

 

im 6'1, 34 inch legs, so im pretty evenly proportioned. it could be the way i position my seat too, i have the seat one notch back from completley upright and my lumbar all the way out. i sit fairly straight up. side efffects of a shitty back.

 

it was lots of work all the brakets had to be cut and moved or new ones made due to the angle or the bracket not lining up with the floor ... none of the stock brackets fit or lined up.

and also they are no lower than before nor does it slide back as far as stock power seat did

was a waste of money imo...

 

your right the car aint made or tall peeps , i myself am 6'4" 225 pounds and my knees come so close to the dash its not funny

try tilting the front of your seat up and the back down thats how i am most comfortable in mine


the rsx seat sits the same hight as the cl one did i belive

 

did you cut the base off the stock seats and then have them mounted/welded to the bottom of the rsx seats? i've read a lot of DIY's on other boards (civic/accord/prelude) how much did it cost you for labor in the end? i'm really interested in doing it still since my seats are all torn up. i prefer oem parts to racing seats so rsx seem to be the most affordable/nicest looking/comfort option. my powerseat doesn't flip up anymore either, nor does the heated seat work for the driver. i'm not the tallest (5'8") so not being able to move back as far isn't a big problem for me either.

 

forgot to say, i'm only interested in swapping the driver/passenger, not the back seats. so my questions were for just those.

it wasn't a waste of money bro, it looks so much better than stock. i'd hit it

 

no nothing was cut off of the stock seat, the guy that did the work turned the stock seat upside down and made a template from the underside of the stock seat brackets (the side that would touch the floor) then cut off all the tabs from the rsx seat made 3 new ones to fit the angle and moved the long flat one in and up some.

and yeah maybe not a complete waste of money they do ook better but all in all i eneded up paying 400 i think... its in the above

250 for seats and 150 for welding and time i proy paid to much for the welding but ohwell

 

can you tilt the rsx seats the same way as you can do with our stock seats?

 

yeah thats what i did as well. the issue i find is that, with having fairly long legs, i can move my seat back far and the arc of the roof better accommodates my head space. the issue i run into there though is that shifting becomes kind of awkward, more like im reaching to put it into 1 3 5.. i feel like on our cl's the shifter is very close to the dash compared to other cars?

 

I'm 6'5" I drive reclined into the backseat

 

blackack, you're a freak of nature haha, i kid i kid. but when i read that post, it reminded me of police academy, when they had to take out the driver and passenger seats in the pinto so hightower could drive it from the rear seats hahaha.

 

Yep, that's pretty much me

I still sit in the front seat, but I ride a hell of a pimp lean

 

do you have negative camber teeth too because you are so jdm?

 

 

How'd u know?

 

for $400 installed, you got a deal still, whether you overpaid for welding or not. i can't even find the seats for that much. i found one passenger for $90.. but i know i'd ever find a driver. everyone's selling in pairs or full sets (front/back). found a guy for $300 for the full set but he won't show me any pics, keeps tellin me to come to his place but he lives 2 hrs out. f* that. i'll let you know what it costs me in the end. hopefully i get lucky and find an rsx on the back of a tow too =)

 

yeah

 

@shogo2.3cl did you swap the seatbelts as well? I had to as the stock CL seatbelt buckles were too big to go into the RSX latches.

 

Hmm i did not know that. Good thing to keep in mind. I wonder if Supraman had the same issue w/the S2K seats

 

is it possible to remove the latches off the CL seats and attach them onto the RSX seats? I'm about to pick up a passenger seat for now, found a really good deal on it. Gonna wait till I can find a driver seat for a reasonable price.

 

why not just go with a 4 point harness?

 

Spazzy if you cant get the RSX belts. You can take a Dremel to your CL buckle and grind it down to the same size as the RSX latch and you would be good to go.

 

I was under the impression that there was a bolt that was holding the CL latch onto the seat and same for the RSX. When time comes, guess I'll cut them to fit. I guess it depends on who I get the seats from and what they're offering with it. So far its only been seats, no belts included. thx for the info guys, really appreciate it. makes me feel much more at ease jumping into this project.

As to the 4pt. harness, I know they are "safer", but it might be a bit too much. esp since my 3.0 CL is all show and no go, it would make me think my car is even slower. i've driven cars with 4 pt harnesses, makes you want to really tear shit up. for me, it would be like having a fake blow off valve and no turbo. it's my DD/commuter. i just want the interior to have an updated OEM look and feel.

 

LOL very true, ive never sat in rsx seats so i dont know how they hold you, but im thinking of getting one for my stock seats, just because its a freaking slip and slide around the bends.

looking on ebay.. you can get a pair for sub 35$ generic black blue red. plus i have little faith in my one airbag doing anything aside from burning me and my 3 point just doesnt seem right. i had a 5 point i my mr2, damn i felt safe as hell.

 

i took the stock cl seat belt deal offa the cl seat and put it on the rsx seat
i didnt even take the rsx ones home i thru them back in the car they came out of

 

ive read around that they arent that great if its not attached to a roll cage or something
