Replacing the driver's side is easy enough. Anyone every consider replacing the passenger's side?

I'm guessing 993 bags are same generation as 964? If so, who really wants those 1st generation (well, maybe 2nd generation if you consider the 1974 GM products that initially had them installed) bombs to blow up in his face? Or his petite wife or child's?

I'll take my chances with the 3-points. Anything that I'd not survive with those stock belts might not be something I'd want to survive............

The 993 airbags are second gen. Better than the 964 airbags which were 1st gen (same as 944 bags from the mid-eighties).

So how much less impact will the body feel?
