Honda Civic FD/FK bucket seat guide

Honda Civic 8th Gen Bucket Seat Guide

The Honda Civic 8th Gen story...

The Honda Civic has had a fair few redesigns and new generations. The 8th generation also known as the FN and FK don’t just look the part, their made for track action. The eighth generation Honda Civic was introduced in September (2005-2006) model year.

On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner. 

None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand. 

We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Honda Civic FD/FK guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.

Recommended brackets:
We recommend these 3 pieces of installation equipment so successfully install the bucket seats we suggest in our guide. 
To fit side mounted bucket seats, simply purchase the side mounts, sliding runners and seat base bracket.
To fit base mount reclining sport seats then purchase the seat sliding runners and base bracket (no side mounts required).
