Back to the seats, does getting aftermarket seats without airbags affect insurance?
I've always wondered about that. On a street car I'd be reluctant to give up my side airbag protection. That's why I spent the extra $$ on the factory Recaros when I had my Mustang.

I had a few different sets of aftermarket seats in previous cars. The airbag thing ended up being what got me to switch back to OEM seats with airbags. What concerned me was not necessarily the airbags themselves, but the fact that oem safety equipment is engineered to work as a complete system and I went and removed a chunk of it. It bothered me not knowing what shortcuts were taken in other parts of the srs system since there were side impact airbags in the seats.

I don't see why it would, insurance won't cover mods(ie so if you wreck your TT 370z, insurance won't fix broken turbos but they will fix everything else so its stock) but they should still cover any injuries even if the air bad didn't go off.

Honestly though, if you're that worried about it, just transplant the sensor over into the new seat. MCM did a bit on transferring the sensor(its in their how to install seats video)

That's the key word. Z actually rolls more than a stock Mustang (the "sport" package equivalent) but it does it with better body control. So while the Mustang rolls less it does it faster than the Z (dampers), so it can feel sloppier. Body roll just hurts the Z because the front tires aren't working like they should. Definitely needs a stiffer front bar to help maximize contact patch for more front grip. The question is... how stiff. ;) :yum:
:iagree:

100% incorrect. Statefarm will allow $5000 of any aftermarket parts. Granger will allow $2000. Anything beyond those amounts and you pay extra a month. For an extra couple bucks a month to cover thousands of dollars if your car is totalled or stollen etc, its worth it.

Edit: If OP does get Z34, it makes more sense to me to sell the Mustang Recaros and then buy a new set of aftermarket Recaros (lighter, sans airbag) which will be much easier to mount. Sportster CS :yum:
