My question...do TT seats fit? They don't look too bad.

I asked the same question last week. Look up Matt Devo in the 'search' function to see what he did.

Default Overseas, S4 Recaro sport seats are optional on the A4

So the S4 Recaro sport seats most likely can be retrofitted into the A4 here in North America.

Default I asked Paul at AMS about this and AMS tried to get them but...

Recaro North America (Winner of US National worst home page award) won't put up the money to get them DOT/NHTSA certified for aftermarket installation, the Richards. I tried to get Recaro UK to ship some and they won't even talk about it. May have to go Recaro Trend/Style and get an upholstery shop to custom fit the side air bags.

If their website is any indication, Recaro is just lazy.
