I have an 00 nogaro Blue S4 and was interested in putting the sparco evo 2 seats or something comparable in. My question to you all is should i do it? I know it is a luxury sports sedan and would kinda of clash but these cars are getting older and we all have to be more daring! I am interested in it manly for the weight savings and the support, looks also play a role ofcourse! Any thoughts or pics would be great!

Is your S4 a daily driver vehicle? If it is, I wouldn't really recommend a bucket seat.

I wouldnt unless you plan completly modding the car like crazy bc If you just have seat's it clashes big time and throws off the luxury feel of the car.Put the money into something else for the car like a chip if you dont have one already.

Only seats that I would think of putting in would be Sparco Milano's. At least they still maintain some form of luxury to the vehicle. These cars aren't getting THAT old.

Depends also what you are using your car for. ALOT of track use, or just the look.

RECARO TOPLINE. if you have the almost 1500 a seat get these, they will look as good as factory and have better options and fit then OEM. its heated and cooled and fully power adjustable. heres the kicker, it actually has memory positions!! wtf was audi thinking??? no seat memory, my dads sebring has that shit!!!

Recaro Sportline or Topline would be my pick for a sports sedan.

LMK if you'd like pricing---we are a Recaro dealer.

Best,
Jeremy

I would say that Bride and Recaro are synonymous...but yes, Bride belongs in a Silvia or Trueno and Recaro's belong in the Audi's, VW's, Porsche's, etc.

are you calling mods like a cooled seats and memory positions a waste?!? do you work for audi or something? j/k [:D]

really he is correct racing seats alone are really not going to improve safety very much, you would really need to install a harness bar and some 4 or 5 points harnesses to do that!

indica...can i marry that blonde girl leaning on your S? PLEASEEEE.

if you have the $1,000+ to get new seats, u should have the income to mod the car too. if not u gotta weigh your options.
