Will Type R seats (front) fit in a 5 door civic

jeremiah · 7th June 2011, 17:43

Yes they do. Without any modification, just a straight swap. I wouldn 't swap the rear seats though, as the Type R seats only have 2 seatbelts...

Can you buy type r seats from honda? Is there a part #? Or can you buy them from a third party cheaper?

You all should use "search button", guys........we already talked about this.

Type-r Seats have same fixing points of 5 door's civic, Every civic 06-2011 can fit them without any modification.

Yes, but I would advise you to buy them from a breaker's yard or so...

From new they are ridiculously expensive...

they wont match then though? id want matching fronts and rears even if it ment i lost a seatbelt! infact i fit EP3 seats in my EP2 and lost the middle rear belt but didnt need it!

As for buying from honda, thats brave! id expect them to be at least £1k per seat?!

you can pick the set up for £700, try ebay.

Doesn't this cause a problem with the DVLA or whoever though?

I remember reading something on one of the threads Italian_Steve mentioned that by fitting Type R seats you're changing the 'class' of the car from a 5 seater to a 4 seater? Or does it not matter?

my Type-R front seats are available if you want some

mandizzle · 8th June 2011, 13:26

What other seats can fit ... Honda type r or does it have to be a civic type r to fit?

LL0 7 YDY · 9th June 2011, 23:52

think your right about the dvla thing...your changing the car from a 5 seater to a 4 seater so you would need to inform your insurance etc i would have thought...its the same if you take the rear seats out (to loose weight or whatever) you need to inform insurance...which is why, when i eventually fit harness's, im fitting dual connection harness's and just dropping my rear seats down, therefore not actually modifying the car as if i need the seats i can quickly disconnect the harness and lift the seats back up and then use my normal belts

Glad to hear that this mod will fit a 5door Civic. One fo the many mods I'll add to my 5 door as and when I get it. Got to get rid of my EP2 first though.

Do I understand correctly that there is no heating with TypeR seats?

Not as standard, but I don't see why you couldn't put an aftermarket jobbie in them.
