Default Ive wondered the same thing. My thinking is that its possible but not necessarily easy

you would have to find the right brackets.

Recaro Style seats with the supplied brackets from a reseller are no problem, but of course they don't have the airbag.

Default 2nd...I'm planning on doing this at some point....

when/if I find a deal on a set of B6/B7 recaros I might give it a try. It would be cool if you could integrate the memory seats as well....but that would be much more difficult unless the controls were on the seat only.

Let us know if you end up doing it...I'd be interested to know what the difficulties are!

If the memory switch is located on the seat itself, then it would most likely work

If NogaroHiro was able to put Porsche GT3 seats in his B5 RS4, then I'd say yes
