EK front and rear seats, do they fit in EG's??

[Per10d]

Pretty much as the titles suggests, can EK civic seats (both front and back) fit into an EG?

and is there a difference between hatch and sedan seats or can they fit too?

[incoming]

from what i know dc=eg front seats perfect
dc into ek only lines up 3 bolts

so it'd be safe to say its same case for eg's

dunno about rears..

[Zdster]

I did do some research into this (only the rears that is). Apparently (going from hatch-to-hatch) the back support does, but the base does not. I havent tried, but that is the information I was able to gather.

I shouldnt see why the fronts wouldnt fit, but you need to be mindful of seat rails - as they will be different between the ek and eg.

I also think there is a difference between the hatch and sedan (at least in the rear seats).

thanks for your input... i wondering if the base can fit though?

ohh and the interior i'll be getting is from a EK hatch i just found out, so never mind the second part of my question.

You could probably 'make it fit' with some custom work. Otherwise I dont think it will fit.

short answer = NO
long (with modding ) answer = yes.

Otherwise , does anyone knwo IF the rails of a DC/EG will fit EK seats ? and vice versa ?

Ben, apparently there is only a single hole difference. That is to say there is only one whole that does not line up. I think with some modding however they can be made to fit (although I am not sure if some sort of engineering approval is required).

will the base of the backseat from an EK hatch fit in an EJ8 [96 coupe]?

how much would these cost?

Hey found this on hondacivicforum:

ok, EK seats in an EG.

Only the inside rail needs to be swapped (thank gawd).

Slide washer from wire joining the two tracks, and remove wire from outside (back adjust lever side) rail. Remove inside (seat-belt connector side) plastic. Remove seat belt connector. Three bolts, two on frame, one on seat back, diff size bolt heads. When removing bolts from frame, be careful as they have (most likely) been sealed - mine pinged like a heavy nut onto an aluminum head when they broke free, and I ripped the skin from a knuckle. word for wise, use larger than a 10" ratchet [&o]

The EG rail doesn't look like it will fit, but it does. Keep track of the washer between the seat back and the rail when removing the rail (two washers there, total) Remember to check for seat position balance on the two rails before re-attaching the connecting wire.

seat just drops/bolts in after rail swap, feels better than original, so must have been seat cushion on original EG seat that made me feel like I was leaning into the center.

I've fitted EK4 rear seats to my EG5. The backs fit no problem. The squab fits too but there is a small gap between the squab and the backs at the base. Not enough to really worry about.

I've measured the various front seats at Pick & Payless and it was my understanding the EK4 seats would fit and the bolt holes line up. But given the above information I think next time I'm out there I'll re-measure.

... seat cushion on original EG seat that made me feel like I was leaning into the center.

A common problem with the EG seats. I have replaced one set with a better looking set (different colour fabric) but the driver's seat causes me to have the same sensation as described above.

Ek to eg, yes with slight modding
Eg/dc to ek, yes with even slighter modding.

DC2/EG into the EK = 3 bolts line up, the inside rear bolts miss the holes - ~roughly 2cm. If only honda made that rail piece slightly longer, it would've been an easy one (same rails for DC2R/DC2/EG/EK etc wouldve thought Honda to think of that) Came across this just last night.

So i would only imagine that the EK seats in an EG/DC2 would also have that problem as mentioned above.

to make ek rails fit on eg
just drill an extra hole and done

Fronts are about $75 each, and the complete rear about $120.

YES - they will fit if your using the EK rails on the DC2/EG seats. Otherwise str8 swap ...NO.

Otherwise get EK9 rails and you will be able to use RECARO SR3/4 from DC2/DC5's ..
