R53 Racing Seat Resistors, HELP!!!

Hey,

I was wondering if anybody in SoCal knows how to make the resistors so that the airbag light would not go off when you install racing seats, I only need it for the driver side, I have a March 06 build R53, if someone knows how to make it and can help me install it, I am down to pay!

I think 3.9-4.0 ohm is what you need. Radio Shack can hook you up.

Sorry to get off topic but do you sit lower with your racing seats than stock.

Mine were about an inch lower than the lowest stock setting. I just used washers to raise it up. I still need to get a real spacer made for it though.
