    I would hope so, otherwise Audi would be stupid to design a different seat that looks completely the same.

    hell if you're gonna go through the trouble and want something nice, but less expensive than S4 recaros --- get some of the black/suede recaros out of an evo

    Re: had anyone figured this out??

    the b7 seats fit me perfectly...ive sat in a lot of seats and these are the only ones to fit my torso...there is a difference between the b7 and b6 and its enough to make me want to buy a set...the s4 seats are too tight on me....and no...im not fat so losing weight wont help...i just want to know if they are a direct bolt on

    its probably just different material they used for padding or something.

    Re: had anyone figured this out??

    The B7 seats will bolt right in, however the airbags and connectors are different. There have been several b7 owners who have tried to swap B6 S4 seats into their B7 and have not been able to get the airbags to function properly.

    You could pull off the upholstery and padding of the B7 seats and swap in the B6 airbags and harness, this would make the a 100% fit.
