Why not get the RS4 seats...I'm sure Josh @ AchTuning can get them for you.

Default they are hard to import (even Josh told me this)

remember, they haven't made the RS4 in a while, and airbag-equipped seats are *explosive*.

The B5 RS4 seats are manual slide, also (for better or worse - might be more reliable!) but have a nicer headrest than the B6 S4 seats. There's also the question of whether or not the B6 seats would work at all in the B5 - remember, the B6 have a memory feature, etc. that the B5 does not.

Default Yeah, unless you're dead-set on the pseudo-factory look there are WAY nicer seats

I love my Recaro SRDs, and if I was putting seats in my S4, I'd be looking real hard at the Sparco Milanos.

There are some legal issues with removing airbags from cars, but what the "man" doesn't know won't hurt.

Has anyone looked at the milano silver alc vs the audi OEM silve alc? Are they the same color?

No idea. A slight mismatch would probably be less noticable than with blue,though.

Those Milanos look very sweet.

Default Yeah, I wanted to put them in my 911 until I discovered the SRDs are the only...

flip-forward seats that are accepted (with seat braces) in SCCA and PCA.
