Would you say you sit higher, lower or about the same height as the original del Sol seats?

Yeah I think the boots were from you, nice work!

I did have to completly dissasemble all the seats, and put the
s2k ones on the sol rails, everything bolted up except I had to
drill 1 hole on each seat support to make them more sturdy. You
don't really need to do it, but I had time and it was a nice day.
The hardest part was a rusty floorboard bolt that I had to drill out.
There is a difference in how they recline, they wont go WAY back like the factory ones, but I'm tall so I'll never have them forward enough to lean back past the max recline. I would have to say they sit about the same height. I can't remember anymore.

I thought about racing seats, but I wanted leather touring recliners, and its a Honda part!

my topic and im late....

they sit about an inch taller maybe less.... custumising of the rails is needed and taking apart some of the seats leather is also needed.... as long as you use del rails the seats any seat will sit as close to stock as it can.... those rsx seats are probably on the rsx rails.... cause i have been in an rsx and they are exacly like s2000 seats... so identical my butt feelt at home

Steve: Thanks for the info, you said you were tall, well over 6ft? How far is the top of your head from the roof panel or the rear overhead roll bar brace? Because you did say you keep the seat all the way back.

Apoc: Same question as above and I cant seem to find your pics on the web, could you send me a link?

thx gentlemen,

I'm about 6'2 and I dont think my head comes over the top of the seats, I think I still have about 6" of headroom clearance. Enough to have a helmet on, and never hit the top...
I usually dont have my seat back all the way, maybe 2 inches from all the way back. If I'm driving agressively, I'll bring it forward even more.

i almost got s2k seats for my hatch, but i hesitated cause i didnt think they would fit in the car and they were sold. now i am planning to get some RSX seats or GSR seats so my hatch looks uniform

ApocalipticSol: Do you have close ups of your armrests. I like how you did that with the white.

I am planning on putting more color to the side doors, and would like to see how you did that if you do not mind. I remember, in my sol, this part of the armrest would be wrinkled and to change it would be nice.
