    Installing B7 S4 Rear Recaros in B5 S4

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have seen a couple people install B6/B7 rear Recaros in our sedan B5's.

    Does anyone have any install pictures or tips?

    This is one car that I have pictures of. (not the best)

    I have currently have a set of rear recaros. The mounting points are the same, but they will not sit all the way back.

    Look up "B Thumper". He has done what you want.

    It can be done easily as the b5 rs4 uses
    the same model of recaro's as the b6/b7 s4's stateside.

    I don't believe so.
    I talked with someone in the UK and he has both rear B5 RS and B7 S4 and he said they fit much differently.

    The brackets are different but the model of seat is exactly the same. Recaro topline's with Audi branding that's all.

    You just have to come up with
    a set of brackets.

    I have no knowledge of this...but if you can come up with a template for a bracket and send it to me I have a plasma cutter and a break. I imagine I could make something up real easy for a literally a couple dollars in materials. Let me know if that's something you want to do.

    B thumper has b5rs4 avant seat backs.

    Same process pull off the leather skin and foam and put it on a b5 frame

    It's time consuming but not hard
