definitely. and it will include how-to and some videos showing the process. there is little information on the new cars.

my 2001 Accord build logs complied to over 300,000 views across the various forums... and still climbing. the one on SoundDomain has 250k itself.

The Sport does have a quicker steering box and 5 hp more then the stock 2.4 the suspension is stiffer and will wear on you on uneven roads the seat's are hard as a rock
I am looking for after market or maybe Acura seats to see if they might plug-n

I have to say, your comments are highly subjective and relevant to your own perspective. Many folks, myself included, find the Sport model to be too soft and sloppy to be considered a proper Driver's car. Said another way, just because you find the car too rough doesn't mean the next person will.

Regarding the Acura seats, in my experience, they are even stiffer (or better from my perspective) than Honda seats.

Drive a base accord then a sport which one has the rougher ride ?
The Accord seats have been subject to complaints from 08-14 models not hard to find complaints on the old interweb. I will not tell you what already seem to know.
I will say a 15 minute drive will not give you a real world exp with the problems for me and others on how hard the seat bottom is. I drive a Toyota p/u most of the time bought the Honda for long distance driving or Vacation trips. I like the car not the seats or non adjustable suspension just a pogo stick ride if the road is not real smooth. Turn a blind eye and you get what you deserve. So beware to all you buyers looking for a new or used 2008-2014 Accord do your home work more then once !

Why would I bother? The Sport Accord is already too soft and sloppy for my tastes.

if you want a car that drives good, get a Subaru Legacy.... the 2015 model is downright awesome on a twisty road... When they decided to ditch the double wishbone in favor of cheap struts a few years ago, it was downhill from there...

The 2015 Legacy looks like a Ford Fusion left in the dryer on tumble too long. 2014 L has a cleaner look.
