Before installing the new airbags, do you recommend replacing the clock spring first?

Before installing the new airbags, you recommended that I also replace the clock spring first. Do you happen to know where the internal crash sensor is located, in case I need to replace that as well?

Yes, clock springs go out all the time so I would replace it with a new part. The sensor should be in the front by the hood release strut mount near the condenser. Let us know if you need anything else.
