BB4 Prelude Seats, What needs to be done?

Accord seats are wider.
The rails don't swap over directly.
You can add a spacer about 3/8" to 1/2" and a longer bolt which should space the prelude seat rails enough to bolt down 3 out of 4 mounting holes. Make sure the spacers have a good mounting area. Don't do what I did and use thick nuts to space out the rails.
The 4th mounting hole will need a custom bracket or will need to be bent downward to bolt down.

Was the swap worth it to you? They look like they should sit lower, and bolster me in place more when taking corners.I'm faster then a prius

I've done both gens of prelude seats on prelude rails and on accord rails. Both need modifications to work correctly. You should read these threads first. I fixed the pics on this thread.

Most of the other DIYs are broken. If you have any questions let me know.

Having done this mod years ago, the one thing I recommend doing and being super careful with is the angle of the rear seatback.
I'm fairly sure it's in the linked articles, but when I did mine, they sat too reclined using the Accord rails. There have been people who have gotten around this, but it is something to think about.
