    That's the short answer.

    The longer answer is that:
    a) You forego the additional safety of thorax airbags.
    b) "Street legality" is open to question if an OEM safety feature is disabled, but that does not appear to bother a lot of people. At least, not before the accident.
    c) You have to find a way of programming out the "defective airbag" warning light.

    The one advantage of the GT3 seats over other Recaro seats (Profi, SPG, etc.) is that you don't have to drill holes into the body of the car to install a 6 point harness. The GT3 seats have a bar that lays across underneath that the harness attaches to. Make sure to disconnect the battery before installing the seats (you can do it yourself) to avoid accidental airbag deployment.

    At the Racers Group, call and ask for Austin. He can help you out.
