Installation notes

Yes — the Recaro front seats from a 2001–2006 Honda Integra Type R (DC5) fit a 1996–2000 Honda Civic (EK) when mounted on EK9 Civic Type R Recaro rails. EK9.org and NZHondas owners report the DC5 Recaros bolting to EK9 rails with no changes. The DC5's own rails will not fit the EK floor. A Honda-Tech owner used DC2 Type R rails instead, extending one bracket and drilling a new hole.
Caution

Important caveats

  • The DC5's own seat rails do not fit the EK floor.
  • DC2 Integra Type R or EG rails need one rear mounting point extended or redrilled, about 4cm out according to one owner.
  • Owners describe the DC5 Recaro as slightly wider than the EK9 Recaro.
  • None of the sources cover SRS or seatbelt sensor wiring, so check the donor seat's connectors before installing.
  • No OEM part numbers were confirmed for this entry.
