s2k seats would be nice. slightly cheaper than dc2/ek9 recaros, alot less common, and as with most seats they'll fit with the relevant mods to the rails

EP3 seats are rubbish, they look nice but offer no side support what so ever! That in mind Id still have them over OEM EK3/4 seats. |

The EP3 seats are ok but as someone has said the side bolsters arent very big. Also if you want to fit harnesses then they have a single hole in the headrest ideal if you were going to put in a 3 point harness I guess but if you were using a 4 I dont think it would be ideal. You can pick up DC2 seats and rails pretty cheap second hand. Just have a look on the ITR forum as they are always selling on there. I found the DC2 seats very supportive and with a 4 point they really hold well

general price on those is anywhere between £300-500 mate, the rails alone cost £100. tegiwa imports stock them in red and black in that price range, good condition is £375 without rails or £475 with ![]() theres some mint accord type r recaros going on csc £360, if i'd seen em before id of bought those instead. |

i looked atr some s2000 ones on ebay and i dont think they will suit the civic much coz of the sort of pointy design. the EP3 one just sound bad and the teg/EK9 seats are just damb expensive, i tryed fiting the CRX seats to it but there no chance of them fiiting i might jsut buy some cheap recaro rep's. |
