Are Audi sport seats available for our A4's? I hate the stock seats, no lateral support at all.

Will they bolt up though? Or is there modification involoved? If not...
Why would Vagparts offer them. When I talked to them, they said they wouldn't work if I remember correctly. But my memory is horrible, so don't quote me on that. I would like to update my seats, but not something as sporty as Sparco.

Hard to say without looking at one up close... The service manual shows instructions (more)
and it seems like the sport and regular seats are basically identical as far as their frames and such go. It's just the upholestry, padding, seat heater, and the leg extension support that is different between them.
I had thought for a while that the cheapest route would be to order just the above mentioned items from a UK dealer and install them on to the basic seat frame. However, I'm not really comfortable doing that without looking at more detailed photos of the sport seats or having someone check the sport seat frame.

Totally agree. B6 seats suck! Audi widened them from the B5 seats...
... to appeal to a broader US audience (read: fat people). The side bolsters in the B5 were just right. We need the Euro sport seats! Do I hear a petition coming on?
