Yea ,You get a air bag light and a disabled srs. I'm working on a dummy plug for it tho. IS300 rails fit. There's 2 mounting holes on the rear bracket area on the floor. I forget wich model of bride rails I have but they are low and i have Stradias . Im like 5 11 and with the seat at the lowest i see barely over my dash. My gf is 5 3 and can't see in front of the car, only the sky U can adjust them to be a little higher but not that much.

Yes sir i shall.

I think i have the RO rails?
They have rails that you can adjust the height with tho. But iono if they have em for our cars. It was kinda hard finding a set of rails for our cars. I ended up buying them directly from Bride Japan. haha wouldnt be good to not see the road.

Did the same mod with my Subaru STi a few years back, seats were from a 2003 Lancer Evo.

To close the loop for the airbag and prevent airbag light, we used a 3.3 ohm resistor. We soldered some wires to each end, and plugged it into the side airbag connectors that protruded from the B pillars, airbag light was gone.


Not sure if this will work with the ISF or maybe a similar solution, but just thought I'd share.
