Default Who sells Recaro seats? Sparco seats? Any other suggestions?

I'm starting to look at racing seats to install maybe in the summer. I really like the new S4 seats as well as the old rs4 seats but I heard/read that they cost lots of money if I want OEM.

I can have just as good aftermarket recaro/sparco for cheaper. What are good seats companies and how much am I looking at in terms of pricing? Should I get one or two?

Thanks


I guess I should have posted this in the B6, damn I hate when that happens. Time for X-post.

Default 1 you're in the B5 forum, but seats transcend models so no biggie..

2, you can search for most of your answers
Prices vary depending on the type of seat... figure another $130 USD extra per seat depending on bracket/slider costs.

Sparco and Recaro are well respected seat manufacturers as well as Cobra and Corbeau.

One seat looks ghetto buf if you're worried about performance for driving and not bling, then who cares. 2 if you want it to match.

Default Those are pretty nice but I'm looking for something without the holes ( i won't be using a 5 point)

I'm definately starting to like cobra seats.
