Default Aftermarket seats

I have a really bad back (I know... I am too young to even have this problem)and I have been contemplating whether or not If should dish out 1G to buy some Bride seats that will be helpful for my back. I was wondering if I would be able to transfer the heated seat unit to my new aftermarket seat? Also, what modifications will be needed so that none of the lights trigger? Will my airbags still deploy? Thanks in advance!

Here are pictures of the seats..

fer shnizzle - get some seats. I am interested in the Bride seats too. There are some that wont fit the S though. I say get them as I am in the minority of people that dont like the stock seats.

ooh That must be bad. I know I have been back and forth on the stock seats about what adjustments feel better. I found recently that the more upright I am the better. In fact, since I have put my seat up to almost 90degrees, I havnt had any pain. They still suck anyway though IMO. I'm 5'9" and 165lb.s and I feel like I am just a little too big for the seat Honda needed to step it up, again , on this one and put in a Recaro seat from the factory like the JDM type R cars or the EVO.

off topic but I'm getting a little peeved at the recent competitors coming out in the next year: the Tiburon replacement will be RWD with 300hp, the new Z gets 350hp and loses weight, and the new Buttstang GT gets a 400hp option - all within the same price range as a new S2000.

The Bride seats are nice, I would have to go with them if it were my choice. Since you got GPW on black, the red would look sweet. Too bad there isnt anywhere around here to go sit in them to see which one is best, though I'm not sure I would want the adj kind - I'd go with the one piece for the most support, then get a roll bar and 5pt harnesses - you would be stuck like glue in there.

The seats look great - but sitting in ANY seat for 9+ hours (?!?) - I'd say that SUX no matter what.
