Default steering wheel conversion

I know this subject has come up from time to time. I even found the link:
https://forums.audiworld.com/9080/msgs/326252.phtml
However the pics are gone. Anyway heres the deal. I want to do a steering wheel replacement on my 20V Coupe w/airbag. I am tired of nailing the horn with my thumb on hard corners, and it looks like crap.

Is this a P.I.T.A conversion?
What wheel do I need?
URS4 wheel with bag, or an S2 without?
Which mates up the easiest?
Which is easier to find?
Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

Default Since you already have an airbag, keep it...

though you will need new column covers, column siwches, new wiring connector, airbag, steering wheel, a column adaptor, and airbag clockspring.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4s6/msgs/192798.phtml">You can apply this method too, in which case you will only need new column covers and the airbag/wheel/clockspring.</a></li></ul>

Default I followed the instructions that Brdman linked...

I actually didn't even have to change my column covers. The process is a little bit "ghetto", but once everything is back together you can't tell. However, currently my horn isn't working.

Default That seems.....

very straight forward. Its noted that this conversion is for an urs4. I am assuming the directions outlined are the same for a coupe?
Thanks for the link. My search begins fro a nice s6
wheel with bag.

Default Yes, the same, but the steering column covers will be different parts.

B5 A4 sport wheel will work as well. '96/97 and early '98 only though.
