For my older non-airbag cars, I have no qualms about going aftermarket in my seating choices. On newer cars with advanced airbag systems that are driven commonly in traffic, I would definitely not take that route. If I did however, I'd disable the airbag system and fit a roll bar with a proper belt harness to restrain me in case of an accident. The alternatives are outright dangerous.
Sparco R600
So I've been searching for a way to get stock Recaro's for my FiST with the base seats without any luck. After much thought I decided to go aftermarket. I'm a little overwhelmed by the airbag situation, but I'm hoping I can get it all sorted out. I'm only going to do the driver's seat first, and if it goes smoothly, I may attempt the passenger seat down the road.
I just ordered the Sparco R600, black with red stitching. I ordered the Sparco base and sliders as well. Has anyone successfully used a resistor for the factory seat airbag plug?
