Intercooler

[ecks618]

I wouldnt even put those on a civic let alone a beautiful car such as an Audi.

Whats wrong with your seats, I find the seats to be comfortable and "hug" the driver enough on turns and such. Those are just ugly and would rice the shit out of your car.

I vote intercooler as well

[denisk]

I would love S4 seats. Wonder if they sell them?

[ABanT]

I think the biggest problem with racing seats is that the airbag light will go off on the dash. Although I think you can bypass that with resistors or something.

[Brent27]

Intercooler........

[Noffy]

Our seats are comfy, but if you find the snug you should probably hit the exercise bike a little bit more than usual. They are comfy in a slipping, sliding sloshing around kinda way.


That being said, get the intercooler, worry about going faster, then worry about being able to stay behind the wheel :)

[AudiWxGuy]

This has nothing to do with the post, but your sig ^^ .... It's a Forge DV. Not Forged. Forged is how you make something. As in a forged wheel. The DV is made by the company Forge!!! Grrrrr :-)

[supamannn99]

would it be safe without the side airbags though? the seats cover up the side of your body but is it as good as effective as airbags?

[02AudiS4]

auditude if you are getting seats get the ones i posted, much nicer.

[Vorsprung]

just get the rs4 seats [cool]
they're only 5 grand a piece [O_O]

I run Corbeau FX1 Pros when out at the Salt Flats and I also swap them in for track events. They aren't very comfortable for daily driver use, but they are nice and snug with plenty of lateral hold.

I can swap out both seats in about an hour.

[gyroscope]

Your doing your A4 a disservice if you fit anything less than Recaro's. The base of the RS4 seats can be had for 1700 a piece plus sliders.

The only thing I'd be worried about with the airbag light is weather or not it would throw a cel and fail a state inspection test. Otherwise I would just pull the bulb.

[02AudiS4]

now those are seats hhaa. very nice

[bunnn]

who needs airbags XD

Racing seats are a huge weight saver, hug you much more, and can be more comfy, but I don't want to lose my heated seats or airbags.

lol I say stuff like that to my friends during the winter all the time...

Me: "I don't care if you get into an accident or something since you're driving like this, but if I get thrown through the windshield and have to lay in the snow during this fucking 2 degree weather while I'm in shock I'm going to kick your ass"

[audimeister]

OK, bunnn and jstahmann, what do you do about occupancy sensors and airbag connections? Do you just ignore the light on the dash? That would drive me nuts.

I was looking at a parts list, and the occupancy sensor is available separately, but not sure if it could be fitted to an aftermarket seat?

These guys make decent copies of Recaros: http://www.arizenracingsports.com/images/Audi-A4-2.jpg Picture is of a B5. I read a thread from another forum from the owner who was pretty happy with them for actual track use.

Finally, A company called Wedge Engineering makes brackets to fit almost any seats into any car. HTH.

[bunnn]

canadian cars does that have that occupancy sensor...but my airbag light is on..i've attempted the airbag light but gave up...the price to buy all the parts to replicate the harness/plugs simply was not worth it to me...

if anything i rather strip my seat(someone did this already) and put the original connectors to turn off the light

btw guys, if you want to buy a bracket maybe Wedge Engineering is a better option, mine came from speedware and i had a HUGE nightmare for months..

care to elaborate? also why not just pull the bulb from the airbag light, or is this not possible?

I basically just ignore the airbag light. As I mentioned above, I don't run those seats all the time.

There are people who have used a resistor inline to fool the airbag system into thinking that there is an airbag connected = no light.

The adapters I use for my Corbeau seats are from Wedge. You'd have to get adapters for pretty much any aftermarket seat in the Audi (Corbeau, Sparco, Recaro, Status, etc.).

[bunnn]

does your adapter actuallly work?

and no pulling out the bulb doesnt mean ur airbag is back to working ^_^;

in regards to speedware, it was probably a care less mistake but here's the story

I bought basically everything from them; i receive them...but they sent me 2 passenger side brackets...after back and forth exchange ...and a few months of wait i finally get the proper 1..but this time it didnt have the seatbelt bracket ......so i had to break the old 1 and weld it on to the new bracket.... that's the jest of it

[jstahmann]

The Wedge adapters work great. They took something like 7 weeks between the time I ordered them and when I finally received them.

Like I said on the airbag light, I don't care that it's on when I run the hard shell seats. I don't even mess with it.

[bunnn]

oh ..i don't care that it's on too ..it's been on for almost a year now....
when you said adapter i thought you meant an adapter to turn off the lights

[aaron1085]

i like racing seats and all, but i see the audi and sport LUXURY. I would prefer finding some RS4 or S4 seats so they look more OEM. what do you think someone could find those for?
