I use to own an EP3. I don't believe they came with side airbags. It was sort of like a racing seat.
One bit of advice. Take it from someone whose driven the EP3 for over a year. Those seats are nice looking and all, but they aren't very grippy. If you want real racing seats, that will hold you in place. You can get a Seibon (Carbon Fiber) Racing seat for only 500 Bucks (Shipped)

I know they added side airbags later on the EP3 SI's because a few I test drove had them...so I suppose they didn't all come with them...was it an option?
Racing seats are nice...but I question the long term quality of their cushioning and the durability of their covers.

Well, Considering how much you are probably going to get them for. I was gonna sell both my fronts for 500. Now those Seibon Carbon Fiber seats cost 500 EACH. Now if you are just looking for a little flash, thats cool. the EP3 Seats are for you. But if you want Car-Show quality seats that everyone will be dazzled by, AND want to be planted in your seat, get the Seibons.

New seats
These arrived at my door step today after work
And guess what Brown did for me
They cracked the seat base, side cover, recliner knob, and the tilt lever was missing(not sure where it went). Marc at AMS was pretty cool about it, told me he will send it back to Recaro asap for repair and he'll deal with UPS, thumbs up for him
BTW STILL NO FIT... WTF and my wheels are coming in this week.. sigh

Have fun installing your recaro. What kinda seat rail did u get?
I'm using FO type rails with my Recaro SPG on the Fit. Glad to get rid of the POS stock seat that's even heavier than the stock EM1 SiR seat I had before.
