Default Seating question 99 Civic LX

Hi!

I'm new to the Forum, have a 1999 gen 6 Civic LX sedan. I commute with it 40 miles a day, 4 day weeks (barring overtime) and tend to run errands and junk with it because I like it more and gets better mileage than our Elantra. That said, I'm too tall for the car, and with some problems with my knee, I need a seat with more support for my knees and thighs. I did search for a post about this, but wondering if Accord seats would bolt in and if they're larger, if they'd fit between the door and console, etc. If I don't hear I might go on my next day off and try and swap some at the junkyard and see if it works and buy an accord seat if it does fit. I know there aren't different Civic seats that generation, I could just have leather if I cared, or lumbar support maybe. What I need is a different pitch in the seat.

Thanks!

Welcome in,the accord seat just might work,before buying a seat check to see if the bolt pattern is the same by using a tape measure to check distance between bolts.the harness may not hookup to your seat though.good luck.

Don't forget the car was designed for the best safety and changing the seat or modifying it in that way may affect the performance of the SRS systeem and seat belts.. just something to think about... If I remember correctly the seat belt buckle is made onto the seat frame in that year Civic.. ?
