THIS recent thread should give you a good idea of people's opinions.

IF YOU CHANGE YOUR WHEEL MAKE SURE YOU PUT A 4 POINT HARNESS IN YOUR CAR

bah, aftermarket wheels are for ricers unless you're a track junkie or have an aftermarket seat that you can't get in without taking the wheel out (which would make you a ricer if you weren't a track junkie )

Just my opinion of course. I think airbags are definitely the deciding factor though. I wouldn't want to be without them.

I feel that intentionally removing your air bag is foolish. It is an integral part of the SRS system.

Why not just take out the seat belts as well? Life is cheap, right? Nothing will ever happen to me, right? I drive safely, why worry about it, right?



Just my opinion, YMMV.

i dont think an aftermarket steering wheel will ever justify the removal of the airbag unless you're racing with a helmet and crumpling hub.

and you will need a helmet and a proper cage to mount the harness right.

increase contact area=less impact force
