no...you can line all of the holes up no prblem...but need to pry a little by hand or a tool...but they will all bolt up. i know what your talking about since i had del sol seats in 92-95 civic. also ls seats...and gsrs at one point. the del sol seats i ahd to drill new holes...eventhough they shoudl have worked...but for the gsr and ls seats a little prying did the trick.
