Question about side airbag
hi all,
i have a question for those of you lucky ones who have seen a FRS/86/BRZ in real life. do the seats have side airbags inside them? would love to know as i might want to swap to buckets in the future (and it's illegal in Australia to do so if the seats have airbags built in). thanks in advance. |

I haven't seen it in person, but I think I read in another thread that there may be side curtain airbags, and possible bags in the door panels, but I think it was mentioned there are NOT bags in the seats themselves.

the spec said there are side airbags and curtains. i looked hard at the available pics on the forum and it doesn't seem to have airbags inside the seats but i can't tell if there are any in the doors. most if not all side airbags these days are inside the seat and i really hope this isn't the case.
would love a definite answer. thanks |

I can't give you a source, but I remember reading somewhere that there aren't any airbags in the seats.
