    Recaro Seat question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I don't post much here, but after searching I can't find the answer to this question. In the B7 S4, do the Recaro seats have extendable cushions? They LOOK like they do, but I don't know anybody who has this car or these seats to be able to find out. Thanks for any answers or threads I missed.

    If you mean the extendable/retractable thigh supporters, then yes.

    The driver's seat thigh support extends along with the regular 12 adjustments.

    Re: Recaro Seat question

    I'm guessing that means the passenger seat does not?

    Awesome! I don't care as much about the passenger seat, as long as the driver seat does. Thank you so much guys!

    Does the B6 have this same feature?

    Re: Recaro Seat question

    My guess would be yes, only because I am very sure they have the same seats.

    Answer is Yes. BTW, the B6 Recaros also have a pull out storage drawer under both the driver and passenger seat.

    Ohhh, does it really? jk Hey Chronic, your a local cat and live in Pasadena. We should hook up sometime and maybe I can get you up to speed on some of the things on your car. I just traded in my B6 but pretty much can help you out on any questions that you may have. I live in San Gabriel and am always in Pasadena. If you see me crusing around, give me a honk. You should have made it to the GMR drive last weekend.

    Anyways, welcome to Audizine and it's always good to meet another local.

    Re: Recaro Seat question

    My 06 S4 has both the extender and the tray underneath on both the passenger and drivers seat. I thought everyone had the same thing????

    Re: Recaro Seat question

    I was wondering this same thing. Mine does not have the thigh extenders. It looks like they do, but none of the buttons make it move on driver or passenger side. All buttons did move the seat in some way, so I don't know what the dealio is w/ mine.

    It's not a button on the panel but rather a recessed latch on the extender itself - right at the front of the seat.

    Re: Recaro Seat question

    Thanks man, I would have never figured that out!

    Just checked and mine was filled w/ grape & strawberry nerds from the previous owner. Guess he couldn't figure out how to do it either :D.

    No Zach, it might not be strawberry or grape, but there is one in your seat. You left yourself open and I just had to go there.

    BTW, are you thinking of putting spacers on your car? I saw your reply to my post over at the world.
