Aftermarket seat install
Hey guys,
The stock Camaro SS seats just aren't cutting it for me, especially after the driver side seat developed a damn squeek and every time I hit an oscillation or bump in the road I get a SQUEEEEK! I'd like to go with either Sparco or Corbeau as my budget is about $1600 for the pair. Does anybody have solid information as to what happens if I leave the airbag light ON or IF I decide to trick the sensor, will the airbags WORK?? What do you guys recommend? Thanks

I'd not put anything else in my ride to replace my stock seats but Recaro's. They're only a few hundred more. I'd save the 1600, save up a bit more and get them...
In fact, I might be doing a swap myself soon. My IGGEE seat covers just ain't working for me. |

Not to mention in the other thread someone above linked, did I read that incorrectly? He mentioned something about disabling the front air bags. Is that a permanent thing? |

Check out the Braum seats. Someone did a DIY thread for the install. The maroon and brown ones are sweet while being half the price.

I'm going to save myself the hassle of the airbag light and buy Z28 seats from my local dealer

That's a big price to pay if you're just worried about the light. You can get a 6 ohm resistor I believe, then just wire it to the airbag harness under the seat. Problem solved. Just did it last week to mine. Got a set of Braum Red Suede seats. Very nice. Although yes if you have the money to spend, the Z seats are nice. But at 3x the cost of Braum, I'll stick with the ones I picked up in my situation. Good luck! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I saw that everyone on here has made threads talking about doing the bypass but literally nobody has posted which wires or pictures of an install. I'm going to come to the rescue and save the day Dun nuhh nuhh nohhhh! (Super hero chime) Haha, I'm gonna pull my seats out and do a write up. I'll try my best to have it done by the end of the day.

I have Z28 seats... I guess the are pretty but I am pretty sure I wont like them on a track. Will now in a few weeks. I would not spend retail for them. There are other seats that fit me better.

Alright guys I ran into a personal issue and won't be able to do much of a helpful write up for a bit. I will say though, the wires to tap into are the
yellow w/ black tracer And Brown wire Put a 2.1 ohm- 4 ohm resistor in between those and that will fix it. Do so at your own risk. I also recommend getting a manual seat harness to butcher up so you can reuse your harness on your factory seats in case you decide to switch back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

not sure how big you are but Sparco Evo series are nice. bunch of sizes too. A set will cut a lot of weight.
