Airbag weight

Anyone knows what's the total weight reduction of removing airbags (wheel + passenger side) ? I am talking all related hardware/wires etc.

(By replacing steering wheel with aftermarket and just removing passenger side)

You do have seat and side curtain bags.

Team knows that of which he speaks - don't guess.

on the outside corner of both front seats

side curtains are inside the roof-pillar trim on both sides as well

the chassis is very well built and has good safety features
