THanks in advance

i have an F1spec, but only because i got it brand new, locally, for DIRT cheap. i paid more for the seat rail than i did for the seat..

please and i say PLEASE do NOT cheap out on seats!!!
expecially if you cheaped out on wheels and tires!! your only asking for trouble

things are priced for a reason, granted the name might jack up the price but you also paynig for a ton of R&D and seats like spacrco, status, spoon, mugen are priced the way they are because of safety codes and regulations, throw that ontop of the price of the seat and thats why the prices are so high. ever price out a brand new OEM seat? u would laugh @ the price.

why the hell would you put your life on the line in a car crash for some seats that 'look cool' think about it bro. get some FIA approved seats. save save save!

Integra or Prelude seats.

Okay, they are not race seats, but if you mount them properly at least they won't be any less safe than your current Civic seats and the seat back is adjustable

3rd gen Prelude seats work nicely....provided you can find the black ones. The other colors are dark brown and dark blue

Nothing like putting your comfort or sometimes your life into the hands of a cheap company.
