Legally you can't use them....would void insurance.

I'd say that removing any safety feature from a vehicle, e.g. air bags, would technically make the car unroadworthy.

Damn
Anyone know if I can have the air bags transferred or would be too expensive or a cheap upholster to do front seats?

With the seat airbags unplugged, the system would log a fault code and stop working. You would have no SRS system operating in the car. Its not just airbags, seat belt pretensioners would be inop too.
Definitely illegal

Subaru Seat airbag SRS canceller from Bride is the answer.

Agh I see Mao does the blue bride seat match closely to the Sti interior?
Otherwise I think I'll be up for upholstery

Does anyone know if it's possible to have airbags from my Wrx seats put into an Sti seat?
