Recaro seats out of a 04 Ford Focus SVT EAP

Hey,

So I have a opportunity to buy some Recaro seats out of a 2004 Ford Focus SVT the European Appearance Package seats. My problem right now is that, on the Recaro, they have air bags in them like our MINIs, is there anyway to make them hookup via the stock wiring? Also if the Recaros also have a weight mat in the passenger side, is it possible to hook that up as well? I know I have to rework the brackets and sliders to make them work, but would this be a pretty simple drop in, or will none of these work?

Motor On,
Joseph

Those look like some nice seats. Seems like you should be able to get it all to work. Good luck.
