Sup Y'all. Okay two things. 1. a question, 2. a suggestion.
What kind of rails would i need to fit the red recaros taken off EK9/DC5R to the FD Civic?
\and
Which recaro model seats do you guys reckon suits the FD Civic between EK9 and DC5R?

Doesn't the FD have side airbags? That's gonna create major headaches with insurance and ECU faults. If you're gonna get these seats try to find a pair from an FN2R. They have side airbags fitted.
If you're car is involved in an accident and SRS have been removed your insurance is void, no ifs or buts.
sorry, forgot to add. i got a VTI model. it doesn't have side airbags :D. FN2R buckets are a rip off. $1700 US for each seat. and don't even bother getting it from honda.Quote:

If I do have curtain/side airbags, does that mean I will never be able to fit aftermarket seats?

Yes your seats have airbags in them. Nothing is stopping you from getting aftermarket seats without airbags but they are 'illegal' by law, also you will have the airbag warning light constantly on. I think the FN2R seats have airbags in them, maybe you can check them out.
I bought BRIDES x 2 Cuga in red for my FD civic..
found out about the STUPID airbag shit... sold those seats because if i get a yellow sticker... Game over..
anyways if ur cars like 06-08? u will be fine
if you're in a vti you're fine.
if ur airbag light is on your airbags may not deploy in the event of an accident so yeh..... dont do it
just out of curiosity... are fn2r seats & rails compatible with our fd's? Will they directly bolt in or would some mods be required for it to fit.
direct bolt on i believe
random question guys, will the rails from the DC5R will directly fit into the fd?
ive got a FD1 Civic VTI 08'
this doesn't help but if you decide to get some bride seats,, i have some bride seat rails for our fd floor plan:)
ahha wished it did help, was planning to get blue DC5R recaro seats because im planning to make a blue theme in my car (eg. trims, seats and etc)
but thanks =)
u still got the rails?Quote:

My car has side curtain airbags. Does this mean its not possible to get recaros/bride or any form of bucket seats installed because it'll get the yellow sticker?
it'll get you a yellow sticker and also may void insurance cause side airbags which are standard for FD2 werent deployed. try look for fn2r seats
