I don't know about making the Recaros fit but about the 5 point I have a friend who has one in his civic and his is anchored to the rear seat belt point.

 

No, to the best of my knoweldge you don't have to take out the arm rest, but I think the bolsters from the recaros will rub the armrest, and make it no fun to put the seat belts in. Not sure on that one, but the armrest replacement for the JDM ITR is pretty cheap any way. As far as the five point harnesses go, you have a couple options, either use the rear mounting points for the the back seat belts under the seats, which is probably your best and cheapest bet, or buy a harness guide bar, or lastly, invest in a roll cage.

Good luck,
Aj

 

If you have the right rails they will just bolt right in.

As for the armrest, you can still run the stock ones but the knobs will be hard to reach and may scratch the armrest.

 

You can mod the seats and knobs to fit on the outside near the doors but it is a little hard to get to...
