I'm thinking to order a FR-S and spend the $1k difference on buying some new seats as soon as I get the car. The Recaro Sportsters look like very similar to the RX-8 R3 seats, which should have an airbag. Any thoughts?

I'm certainly going to go for at least one Recaro Sportster seat myself, and am thrilled to hear about aftermarket seat manufacturers producing them with airbags now. Unfortunately, I haven't had time in the last couple of days to take a measuring tape to the car to make sure they'll fit, nor done any of the other research I'd like to do before purchasing them. I did read that the wires for the airbag on the seat are such that it's not a direct plug-and-play, but rather going to have to have some electrical knowledge and use of a soldering iron to adapt it to the FR-S. No biggie, but still something to consider.
The one thing I want to make certain of is that it doesn't throw an airbag fault-light on the dash. So long as the current resistance is the same, or within acceptable parameters, as the stock one, everything should be fine. But if not, then it gets trickier.
Still... I can't wait to have a pair of these in red in my car!
(Funny, I said I was only going to get one, and now I'm thinking of them as a pair! Oh, curse you money-pit of a car! Will not the Volks and Cusco braces be enough for you, must you take every last penny I have? Oh, what's that... my kidney too? Dammit!)
