Buddy Club Seats & Rails Install

I am looking at possibly upgrading seats and going with Buddy Club's fixed back and rails (http://www.tf-works.com/buddy-club-r...de-black-gray/, http://www.tf-works.com/buddy-club-r...z-driver-left/). I have never done seats in a car, and am kind of confused. First off, I am 6'2" 250 lbs, will these rails/sliders give me enough room? Also, I have researched the resistors/air bag situation. If I put resistors in, will my airbags be functional? Planning to do driver and passenger side. Car is daily driven and sees some mountain use. Any input/info is appreciated!

I'm 99% sure those Buddy Club rails will not work with a wide seat. I just tried the Nagisa Auto low rails which are similar and there wasn't enough adjustment for my Sparco Evo II US. You'll need to do a base plate/slider/rail set up (which negates a lot of the weight savings ) and drill holes in the base plate to line everything up just right. I'll be working on that last part this weekend. Hope this helps.

Yes your airbags will still be functional if you get the correct resistors.

Make sure you move the weight sensor from the stock passenger seat to your new seat or else your airbag on the passenger side will not trigger even with the resistor in place.
