1. What was the name of the Recaro seats that came with the EK9? What is the color of the back seats that came with this model? Is it reclinable?

2. Does the Integra (DC2) and Civic (EK9) Type R have the same type of Recaro seats?

3. I also saw this other bucket recaro seats and back seats. Did this also come with the EK9? What is this called? How much are these seats compared to the EK9 default ones? Are they reclinable?

1) dont think there wasnt a specific name for ek9/dc2 recaros but you can buy these which are closest recaro,

just different pattern and recaro in larger writing, the recaro in the ek9/dc2 is exclusive to honda

the black seats again dont have specific name as only available through honda

2) yes just different rails

3) no, they look like knock offs, ek9 and dc2 seats are reclinable






ek9/dc2 recaros go for stupid money used and dont even bother asking honda as you get raped

Hmm, so they are knockoffs after all.. Can anyone confirm?

Btw. those recaro speeds are nice. Do they come in railings for the EK civic? Also is there anyway I can find similar EK9 recaro backseats?
 
The CTR and ITR seats are called recaro SRD's if i'm not mistaken. Similar to, but with not the same "recaro" placement as the recaro speeds shown on the website.
DC2 and EK9 had pretty much the same seat except the rear inner rail bolt hole on the EK9 was placed an inch or so from the the DC2 one. The other bolt holes match up.
EK9 rear seats are just a black fabric, but still very costly to buy. If you have an ek9 rear seat you can easily sell it for $400 US.
 
1. As Dino-Spumoni said, CTR EK9 Honda Civic Type R Recards are SRD's.

2. Yes they're the same, they where all in red color as a standard, but if the buyer specified he could get a set of black ones :)

3. I'm not 100% sure, but the photo you showed us, looks like a fake set of recaro seats, specially the back seat. The Recaro SRD's where all reclinable there where never a OEM CTR seat that was not reclinable.

i know they go for lot of money but didnt think that much, anyone want to buy my rear ek9 seats ? :)
 
Well, they go commonly for 300 with like 100 shipping, but the price goes up and down depending on how good the seat condition is.
 
Thanks a lot for the info. Nice and warm community you got here, better than all those JDM forums loaded with spam. ;)

How much is the marketprice for the SRD Recaros nowadays in pair?
 
$1000 dollars US for a pair is very common. And they don't even have to be in great condition for that price.
