Will my airbags still deploy in a collision? I read somewhere that the weight sensor on the stock seat is NOT transferable to the aftermarket seat.

Lookin at some Sparco's right now!

 

the weight sensor can be transferred but it's going to take A LOT of work. Also, for the airbag issues, you can use resistors and there is a DIY out there and pretty much the same thing for our car. If you're going to get aftermarket seats, be aware that there will some air bag issues.

 

no there wont ^^^

take off the dam sensors snaked and routed onto the driver seat and passenger seat... once you strip off all the wires and sensors just simply plug them back into the oem harness under the seat and tuck them under your racing seat..

problem solved... no need to resistors when it takes 2 mins of work extra to take all the sensors off.

 

i was thinking about the SRS airbags haha
pete is right :D

 

Is it really that simple?

night87 i was thinkin about buyin ur bride seat but don't know about the sensors. Could you show me the wires and sensors I would need to transfer to the racing seat?

 

Denver?
You can take a look at mine sometime its pretty simple
