Is there a size difference between the seats in the b6 and the b5? If so, is anyone running b5rs4 seats in the us?

Default I have B5 RS4 seats too...

The fronts take an A4 style bracket. The rears (Avant only, of course), require modification of the middle bracket.

Default I have B5 RS4 seats. They require a welded bracket because they aren't motorized for fore/aft adj.

I have part numbers.
