I believe mine are from a Honda civic circa 199?, however I am not happy with the way they bolt down (or rather not bolt down, but it makes it really easy to yank the seats to get at the top of fuel tank/storage under drivers seat...)

Depends if you have an 88, 109 PU, or 3 door 109 (having a bulkhead behind the seats) or a 109 SW (no bulkhead behind seats) because many highback seat options will hit that bulkhead unless the seat if fairly upright.
I have Corbeau GTS II seats in my 110 and absolutely love them. They have gone up in price alot since I got them, but they are still less than Recaro, and others. VERY easy installation.

I've got VW Jetta seats but had to modify the seatbox A LOT. After my installation I was told VW Van seats would go right in c/w slide adjuster. Measure to see before you run out and buy any. The standard size you want is about 19" x 19" for the seat bottom and watch how much space you are loosing between the seat top and steering wheel. If you aren't carefull you might have a hard time squeezing your leg under the steering wheel to get in and out.
