None taken - The main reason I did it wasn't to save the weight, but because I don't like the idea of having an airbag (basically just an explosive) that's no longer being controlled by the module. I wasn't just going to unhook the airbag or cut the wires and leave it in there because I'm paranoid it could go off in some freak accident with a spark or static electricity.

Since this still really doesn't answer the question - I did it because I will have racing seats and harnesses paired with a roll bar for safety measures at the track. The airbag would be useless and could potentially do harm in some instances. If I wasn't using a roll bar, I'd just use the factory seat belts and retain the airbags on both sides. No sense in compromising safety.

But the weight savings factor is a nice bonus.
