Default Anyone wire RSX seats with airbags to work on their civic srs system?

Is it even possible to make it so that if the front go off so will the sides?

I don't think the SRS system is something you want to try splicing in to, and you also do not want the side air bags to deploy any time the fronts do. Cars equipped with side air bags have specific sensors to detect when the system is needed, depending upon the collision. Your best bet is to remove the SRS system from the seats before installing.

Probably not, the SRS computer in RSX's is specifically designed to run those airbags. I would deffinatly NOT try splicing into your 92-00 civics SRS system to try and see.

There's your warning, and your suggestion in terms of the SRS, all in one. Please do not risk the danger of an "improvised" SRS system. That's WAY too perilous.

Think of it this way... theres no way you could ever know it works unless you actually get into an accident... unless you have gambling issues, thats not a bet you should be willing to take.

Thats perfectly understandable. Even when you do put the RSX seats in, any civic 92-00 does not require any use of side airbags, so inspection-wise you would be fine.
