I did a search on air bag. And looks like people are putting a resistor in air bag connector to trick the system. Not sure if this can work with stinger. Are you dd your car, or is it just a track car?
I do DD my stinger, yes, with the race seat in. No issues. I do get one light on the dash as an airbag warning but that is it. Everything functions 100%.
Here is the video I just made on the installation.

Thank you for the video!!! Is that seat comfortable? I was looking at some sparco seats (r100 and r333). R333 looks like a comfortable seat, but it weights around 28lbs. Also ,if the trick with resistor works, we shouldn't have any lights on the dash. As far as grade of bolts, i personally replaced a lot of them with grade 5 titanium ones. Saved around 15lbs just from that. :cool:

Mans daily driving in a kirkey. The seat isn't too bad tbh, I have one in my S13, but one thing I'm going to note, those aluminum seats are supposed to have a brace about shoulder height that ties back to a cage so if you get in an accident the back doesn't deform/crack and damage your spine.
 
For reference if anyone's looking for it. Weird how it's only on the drivers side...
