Seat Swap FAQ

Any seat swap is not going to be simple and will require fabrication work. Unfortunately there aren't a whole ton of DIYs online.

For now assume both seats are equally hard. Comfort is subjective, sit in both seats and make an assessment.

It's not hard at all just make sure you get the rails and modify it yourself and correct the proper height with washers lockwashers and good grade bolts and nuts

Rule of thumb: If your first question is "how hard", it's too hard.

For the sake of safety, you must secure all 4 seats properly on all 4 corners. This may require some welding. Is welding hard for you?

Sounds like you need some seat time.

Why not lumina recaros?

[deevergote]

Wow, I didn't even know Luminas had Recaro seats as an option! Man, those are some bolster-less Recaros!

[Accrdwgnguy]

They are quite slim, would fit well in a Honda.

My personal preference is 92-99 Pontiac Bonneville seats. Have blue cloth version in both of my b-bodies.



If I have to get another Honda I'd try to fit them in. Very comfortable and hold you tight as well.

Wow... screw Recaro... La-Z-Boy is the way to go!

Guess I should answer the question. You'll have to modify the seat rails to mate up with the floor mounts in the Accord. This will require bending metal, drilling holes in and grinding said metal; Likely some angle iron and flat stock from Home Depot. Or if you're really cheap, like me, cruise yard sales and the like for old bed frames, cheap source of angle iron to make brackets and things.

You could buy aftermarket seat mounting frames made for putting race-car type seats in cars. More money but more of a bolt together type of deal.

Do your research. Best help you got is yourself.

Its pretty easy and straight foward. Im sure once you remobe those seats or look at them you going to tell yourself that you possibly will need a welder to weld custom brackets or weld relocation plates.

I did try del sol seats into 98 accord and man where they super low. Id assume the s2k seats are close to del sol seats too. But them again Im only 5'-6" so yeah. Last thing I wanna do is look like a little kid driving a car. When those hot ladies drive next to you its like hey im not that short holla back
