Default Recaro seat special

<center><img src="http://www.advancedmotorsport.com/forumpics/recaro_special.jpg"></center><p>We've gotten a lot of interest in a Recaro special, but since Recaro dealers are not allowed to advertise below retail, we are offering the following items free with each seat purchase:

Free ($150 value):
- seat bracket (Wedge)
- slider (Recaro)
- air-bag resistor (Recaro)
- Recaro hat

Shipping is extra.

Default no mass produced aftermarket seat has airbags in it to my knowledge. That is what the resistor is

for. It prevents the airbag circuits to think that the airbag is missing or that there is a problem. Keep in mind that the cost of an airbag easily exceeds $500... which would be 2/3 of the cost of these seats. So no airbags.

I thought you could buy the S4 seats thru Recaro (AMS) and you wouldn't loose your airbags?

Default those are recaro made seats for OEM application so yes those could come with airbags.

but in reality it's made for audi and not really aftermarket.
