    I'm looking to add some recarro or Braum racing seats, with custom seat brackets and was wondering what to do with the airbag connector that runs to the stock seat? Of course the aftermarket seats don't come with airbags, so those who did go with racing seats what did you do?

    In short:
    - a resistor for each airbag plug to act as simulators

    - rig up the driver seat position sensor/rail like stock or wing it and throw it under the seat still plugged in to OEM wiring

    - find a way to clamp the passenger seat weight sensors either in a fancy diy bracket of sorts or hose clamps or whatever and assume the risk. As far as I know there is no aftermarket module to bypass them anymore.
