totally disagree. it is very well defined. if you watch those crash test video, there is no chance of survival if you have no airbag. your face would smash against the steering wheels with the seat belt on. your neck would break.

for side airbag, if someone tbone you, your head will hit the windows on impact. if there is no side airbag, you will have head injury.

bottom line is air bag save lives in majority of cases, but it only work in conjunction with the seat belt on.

for the performance seat, i would just go with recaro sporter CS full black leather and call it a day. save half the price.
