you pass side airbag will not read the weight sensor and the service airbag alarm will pop up on the DIC. you can take the sensor out of your current seats and put it in the recaro.

under the seat (if its even there)

just look under your passenger seat for plugs. if its plugged up to anything then you have a sensor to swap over. unless you have heated seats then that may be what the plug is for.

to take the seat out, push the seat all the way forward, there are two 18mm bolts holding the framerails onto the carpet, once those are out you lean the seat forward then it pops right out.

You have an 06 SC? No passenger sensor.
Driver seatbelt should/could be in the driver recaro seat already.

i swapped the whole kit and caboodle once from tc seat to tc seat and it was easy, just take off and put on the other seat. but yeah if its an 06 i'm fairly confident you will have no sensor to worry about; mine had none. now i'm rockin teh ricardo's!

are you also switching the backseats? what interior colors do you have currently?
