my friend has a 2002 Civic Si. He might be getting some racing seats soon. I would LOVE Civic Si seats in a fit. Does anyone know if it has been done before?

 

They both have side airbags(EP3)...I'd like to see if you could still keep those working with the swap.

 

Oh nice! I wish they had some beige ones.. and it seems like it would work..

 

id like to do this swap too...if they fit

 

as long as the seats match up to the Fit brackets. Any seat with fit with any car as long as you have a compatible slider or bracket. If anything you can just get customs brackets to work with the Fit. Shops usually charge about $150 or so for the sliders. Your getting free seats anyways. GL

 

does any one know if rsx seats of s2000 front seats well bolt up in the fit???

 

I highly doubt it.

 

I wanna find out as well. My friend has an EP Si and he might get new seats soon. So I got dibs on his old seats.

 

I use to own an EP3. I suggest you make sure the little red circle in between the headrest is secure. sometimes it came lose and it was a pain in the ass getting it back in.

 

I use to own an EP3. I don't believe they came with side airbags. It was sort of like a racing seat.

One bit of advice. Take it from someone whose driven the EP3 for over a year. Those seats are nice looking and all, but they aren't very grippy. If you want real racing seats, that will hold you in place. You can get a Seibon (Carbon Fiber) Racing seat for only 500 Bucks (Shipped)

ShowStoppersUSA.com Trust me, i did alot of business with them, they are awesome. Free Shipping!

 

I know they added side airbags later on the EP3 SI's because a few I test drove had them...so I suppose they didn't all come with them...was it an option?


Racing seats are nice...but I question the long term quality of their cushioning and the durability of their covers.

 

Well, Considering how much you are probably going to get them for. I was gonna sell both my fronts for 500. Now those Seibon Carbon Fiber seats cost 500 EACH. Now if you are just looking for a little flash, thats cool. the EP3 Seats are for you. But if you want Car-Show quality seats that everyone will be dazzled by, AND want to be planted in your seat, get the Seibons.

 

Side bags were a option on the Si. The Fit being so compact brings side bags as a standard option to help with side impact....

 

These arrived at my door step today after work



And guess what Brown did for me



They cracked the seat base, side cover, recliner knob, and the tilt lever was missing(not sure where it went). Marc at AMS was pretty cool about it, told me he will send it back to Recaro asap for repair and he'll deal with UPS, thumbs up for him

BTW STILL NO FIT... WTF and my wheels are coming in this week.. sigh

 

did you only get one seat? how much did this run you?

 

Passenger seat was perfect, Driver seat was damaged. I tried not to remember how much they cost.

 

All the more reason to wait Got all these new toys for your Fit, gonna look pimpin' as soon as you get 'em all done at once.

 

man i hate you.....lol, no j/k your in houston so that means i'll get to see the seats in person in your fit when u get it.......as for then i'll drive my fit around without nice recaros in my stockers....lol..........sucks about the BROWN though....

 

Have fun installing your recaro. What kinda seat rail did u get?

I'm using FO type rails with my Recaro SPG on the Fit. Glad to get rid of the POS stock seat that's even heavier than the stock EM1 SiR seat I had before.
