I sat in an S4 on Sat. while waiting for my A4 to be serviced and imediately fell in love with the way Recaro seat sit. Snug yet comfortable.

Default Matt Devo did it, and got them off the AW classifieds

I believe he did the install himself, though I may be mistaken

Default you're not, they were a very easy install...

direct bolt-on for any B6 A4. Only issue is power, which isn't an issue for 2002's since power is already run on both sides (just need to replace 2 fuses with larger ones) for both 1.8T and 3.slow. 2003+ may require running separate power for the passenger side on 1.8T's. I know power isn't an option for the pass side on 1.8T's in 2003+, only on the 3.slow.

Default Awesome, but stop calling it 3.slow

Ahhh, you're right, it is a slow piece of $%#@

Not the 1.8T... That's good enough for me!

I'll put my 1.8T up against any 3.0 (unless it's supercharged)
