what civic is it? If its an eg or maybe ek you can get the front ones in. The front mounts on the sub frame will bolt straight up its the back ones that need work, you will need to cut the mounts off the subframe, then match up the mounts on the subframe so they fit the floor pan holes, then weld them nice and strong to the subframe.

The front would require you to use the prelude seat rails and you may need to tap some new holes as I dont know if they are in the same place.

Rear seat = no

The prelude has a center console that goes to the backseats which it is notched for.

yeah ,, i only have the fronts prelude seats.. so what im hearing is that the bolts will fit .. but the back of the seat mounts wont .. .because the rails maybe longer or shorter .. and u guys are saying that i would have to cut the mounts .. stretch .. or shorten .. it and then mount the chairs, is there any simpler way ?

Just need to swap the rail on outer side and Swap the whole assy on inner side.
