RSX rear SEATS INTO AN EG / DIY
ok i don't know if this will help anyone buy i feel like there is never enough info out there so i took pic's while changing out the rear seats in my eg. now when i bought the car it came with gsr leather seats, since then i have replace the fronts with rsx seats and now want to replace the rears with rsx-s seats.
the top fold down parts of the gsr's fit perfectly but the bottom had a little gap.
tools used:
#2 Phillips screw driver
wire cutters
dermal with metal cutting disk
this took me like an hour or so
first thing i did is remove the rear seats from my civic
then i had to take apart the 2 back parts of the gsr seats cause the rsx backs don't fit in the eg the way they are. I had to swap the seat pans.
(the back of the driver side gsr rear seat) i had to cut all the medal clip things holding the leather to the seat pan.
then i had to remove this plastic piece.
then i just pulled the leather off the back of the seat so that the pan was exposed.
be sure to carefully pull the leather from around the release handle use to fold the seat down.
the seat pan (thats what i'm calling it) peals right off the foam and is almost identical to the rsx seat pan
now do the same to the rsx seat. remove the leather from the seat
on the front part of the rsx seat there are 3 or 4 medal clips holding the leather to the foam, i cut them to make it easier you might be able to pull the leather off the back with out cutting them - you only need to access the back and top part of the seat.
this is the rsx seat with the leather off it
again the pan peals right off and this is what they look like side by side
(the gsr is on the left and the rsx is on the right)
now put the gsr pan on the rsx cushion - they go together real nicely.
here i am sliding the rsx leather back on the new seat i just made.
top veiw
now i had to put this plastic piece back on.
here is this part of the seat done.
now after i did that all over again to the other back part of the rear rsx seat, i started working on the butt part of the rear seat. here is a pic of the rsx bottom rear seat next to the bottom gsr rear seat (the darker one is the rsx seat)
1st i put the backs in, you don't have to, but thats the way i did it. they fit just like the gsr's did maybe a little wider but not much.
so after i got the backs in, i place the bottoms where they should be and marked the spots on the car where the hooks from the seat touch the body of the car, then i cut holes big enough for the seat hooks to fit thought the holes. their might be a better way but the seats seem to say there and not move so i am happy with it.
ok so now all i had to do was pull the seat belt thing though the seat and i was done. here are the final pics
this is the first wright up i made, so if i forgot or missed anything let me know i will edit it. i hope this helps someone.

no the rsx front seats are not an easy install the easiest way is to just weld them in. i have brackets that were made but its kinda getto, and i don't think its safe. i'm going to weld them next time i take it to yonkie racing, or who ever welds. also they sit kinda high. i would just go with S2k seats. i will looking to trade for some if i can ever find some one wanting to do so
