hey guys hows it going?

wondering if you would classify EK4 seats as "bucket" seats.
i've been and driven in EK4 seats, and they're not exactly "buckety", whats your opinion?

theyre not bucket seats.

They just got some grooves that hug you, but i wouldnt classify it as one.
DOHCTR Coopz!

they dont seem "buckety" at all.. i get tossed around like a rag doll sometimes!! plus the fabric colours look like something my mum would use! but atleast the factory floor mats compliment each other! not my choice of colours though.. :thumbdwn: hmm repco are have a sale, dragon seat cover set + floor mats for $49.95!! u cant go wrong.. lol :)

i think anything NOT a bench seat is considered a bucket seat.


what u want is more of a track/sports seat.

ek4 seats arent that good in terms of restraining body travel imo

ek4 seats were a mega upgrade from my Ej8 fat american spec seats.

Ek4 made for skinny Japs
Ej8 made for FAT maccas yank home dawgs.

ek4 seats = (y)

I would say semi-bucket. EK4 seats are very nice stock seats. So to the Integra VTiR seats.

EM1 seats are actually different to EK4 seats. the em1 got pretty much same seats as other EK's. EK4 seats are the best of the EK's

LMFAO yeah I got a funny feeling too.. thought he'd have ALREADY replied sayin "EK4 seats the best in the world yo !!" hahaha

anyone who thinks EK4 seats are crappy needs to sit in a CXi (etc) seat then the EK4 item and compare the difference !!

yeah man no doubt, but like I said compare EK4 with EJ8 / EK1 (etc) seats.. the EK4 are like super-sports seats compared to the gay-ass povvo spec seats... hey adri !! hahaha

i would have to agree, they are better than any other that comes straight from the factory besides the TypeR Recaros and S2K.

Anyone have EK SIR seats? wondering if they are different, my EF SIR seats seem to be more "buckety" than the EK4 ones.

Guys stop complaining. Corolla and pulsar seats haven't got shit on most of the seats in our Hondas (the seats in my 93 si hug you much better than my mates 94 pulsar or my mates 2000 corolla)!

the seats are good for normal day driving and the occasional thrashing, otherwise, it wouldnt come close to a half bucket (your type-R recaros), let alone a full bucket. I used to have to brace myself against the centre console with my left leg while on track just to prevent myself from going all over the place. I changed to a full bucket sparco rev and its a major difference. You will manage to stay in ur seat without the danger of falling over to the passenger side on corners. Now that's what I call LATERAL support
