    Hello,

    Fit the racing seats of the 458 without changes of the console and hardware in the F430? If no, what needs to be changed?

    Thanks for your help!

    They fit without modification. But, a lot of us in the US that have done this now have airbag lights on.

    OK thanks for the info! I thought you needed other seat rails or brackets to install them. It is good that it goes without. About the airbag problem I've never heard. Has the problem already solved someone?

    P.s. I speak about 458 seat and not Scuderia. I thought they have a other console. When thats wrong everything is fine.

    I have successfully fit 458 seats in 360 however it's a different story with 430. I picked up a occupancy sensor from a 458 and I will be working fitting The seats in a 430

    Then you have just adjusted the sensor, but console, seat rail etc. has fit of the 360? That would definitely mean that the 430 also fits. Thank you!

    I should have the 430 in a few weeks and will be attempting the install of the cf 458 race/Scuderia Seats in the 430. I will post the process and results on here. I am hoping to do so without any airbag lights!

    I just bought a pair of 458 Daytona seats and plan to put them in my 430. Any new info on the airbag light? I will post pics of the install once I get to work on it!

    Installed 458 racing seats in my 360. No problem besides new bolts.

    F430 needs passenger seat occupancy sensor or European Scud airbag ecu to cure airbag light.

    Can I use the sensor out of the stock 430 seat? Is there a sensor?

    I do have the on/off switch but I’d rather not turn it off since I often carry a passenger

    You can keep it on or off with no issues.
    Mine is always on.
