Honda Civic FN2 bucket seat guide
2007 to 2010
The FN2 is the UK and European Civic Type R, the wedge-shaped hatchback with the split rear screen, built 2007 to 2010. This guide covers the fitting components confirmed for this chassis specifically, separate from the JDM FD2 saloon of the same era, which has its own guide.
The factory Type R seats are heavily bolstered and worth considering keeping. If yours has them, tell us what you are trying to achieve before removing anything; a harness bar, belts and a head restraint gets a lot of owners what they actually need.
- The M2 Motorsport sub-frame (13837) is unambiguously confirmed for the FN2, 2007-2010
- BRIDE seat rails coded specifically for the FN2 give a precisely scoped alternative
- Two premium Custom Cages T45 kits (Race and Rally specification) exist for the FN2 at a significant price, alongside more accessible Safety Devices options
- The FN2 factory Type R seats are heavily bolstered. Consider a harness bar and belts instead of a full swap if the factory seat still does the job
- Harnesses above 3-point need a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar
Mounting
The M2 Motorsport sub-frame (13837) at £138.50 is a side-mount design confirmed for the FN2, 2007 to 2010, made to fit most side-mounted seats. It only fits with seats of the same brand as intended; using it with a different manufacturer’s seat is not guaranteed to fit correctly.
BRIDE list genuine seat rails coded specifically for the FN2, bolting to the car’s original floor mounting points. These are the most precisely scoped alternative if you are running a compatible seat.
Consider keeping the factory seatsThe FN2 Type R factory seats are heavily bolstered and hold you properly. If yours are in good condition, a harness bar, belts and a head restraint may get you what you need without a full seat swap. Tell us what you are trying to achieve first.

Competition seats for the Civic FN2Which bucket seat for a Honda Civic FN2
For a track day car, the OMP Champ-R at £318 is a lighter FIA-rated fibreglass option. If the car sees contact, the Cobra Monaco Pro at £235 trades some weight for a steel shell. For an FN2 built properly for circuit work, the Sabelt GT3 at £431 or the Corbeau Sprint X System 3 at £675 give strong support through fast corners. Talk to us with the seat dimensions and confirm the sub-frame before ordering.
Reclining sport seats
Reclining sport seats fit the M2 sub-frame or BRIDE rail above. The Auto Style Type RS6-II Vinyl at £278 is the accessible starting point.
At the top of the range, the Sparco SPR at £1549.12 is a premium reclining seat for a full interior rebuild.

Reclining seats for the Civic FN2Which recliner for a Honda Civic FN2
The Auto Style Type RS6-II Vinyl at £278 is a sensible road-car starting point if the factory Type R seat is not what you have. For a full interior rebuild, the Sparco SPR at £1549.12 is the seat in this guide built to that standard.
Roll cages
The Safety Devices multipoint bolt-in rear cage (223758) at £685 is the accessible option, confirmed for the 3-door FN2, 2006-2011. The Safety Devices weld-in cage (250466) at £1728 is the more involved option for a car being built properly for competition.
Custom Cages offer two premium T45 kits at the top of the range, both £2267.61: the Race specification (18916) and the Rally specification (18917), each built to Custom Cages’ International standard for the FN2 and suited to a car being campaigned seriously.
Harnesses
Harnesses need a roll cage or harness barA 4-point, 5-point or 6-point harness with separate shoulder straps needs proper attachment points above and behind the seat. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar before using anything above a 3-point belt.
The TRS Clubman 3-point bolt-in at £80 and 4-point clip-in at £100 both use the standard seat belt anchor points and do not need a cage. For 4-point competition use, the TRS Magnum 4-point FIA at £205 and the Takata Drift II at £229 are the step up.
For 6-point harnesses, the cage goes in first. The TRS Magnum 6-point Superlite FIA at £245, the Takata Drift III at £270, and the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370 all suit a caged FN2 going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Should I keep the factory Type R seats?
They are heavily bolstered and hold you properly. If yours are in good condition, consider a harness bar, belts and a head restraint instead of a full swap. Tell us what you are trying to achieve and we will give you an honest view.
Does this guide cover the JDM FD2 saloon too?
No, the FD2 has its own separate guide. Both the FD2 and FN2 came from the same generation window but do not share a floor.
Why are the Custom Cages options so much more expensive than the Safety Devices ones?
They are a premium International-specification T45 build in Race or Rally trim, aimed at a car being campaigned seriously rather than a general track day cage.
Can I run a 6-point harness without a roll cage?
No. A 6-point harness needs anchor points above and behind the seat for the shoulder straps. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar first. A 3-point bolt-in harness uses the standard seat belt anchor points and does not need a cage.
