Racing Seat airbag question

I want to put in a simple bucket seat into my BRZ, but it is my daily. I know I will be uncomfortable im not worried about that, my concern is airbags. Obviously I will lose the seat airbags, and i have read that you can fix the light with a resistor, but If I use the resistor, will ALL of my airbags work (besides the missing seat bag)?

There's only one way to find out!

Why? The stock seat is pretty good.

For most bodies but I'm sure there are a slew of owners out there who aren't getting the comfort they need from the seat.
