Well done. Those might be too firm given your old age...I'll buy them in a package deal with the Euro 5 spokes.

So much cleaner looking than our stockers...

Yea our stockers make it feel a little too A6 like than S or even RS. Maybe this has been covered already, but would B7 RS4 seats fit/work (with some custom rail work). I figure those would be maybe a little easier to come by (i.e. searching for a totaled RS4 that was actually sold in the US).

15 hr day on the road yesterday
My butt cheeks are firmly planted on this leather.
Many thanks to Gabe and I may be working out a deal for his whole car.

Slight detour on the way home. Had to wear some metal off the rotors

Nice seats! I find the rs4, b6 s4 and B7 s4 Recaro seats fit me great. I might have to find a set. I like the stock rs seats, but there a little tight for me. I'm 6'6 and 260lbs. I've been working on a rs4 at work and everytime I get in it I love how the seats fit me.

Nice...you've managed to hog every available RS6 on the planet. Looks like I'm stuck with my crappy STi Untill you give one up.

How do you come by these Euro seats?

Lots of detective work...took me over a year to talk my guy into selling his. If they went on the open market it would have been triple the cost.
Or take the risk for euro shipping. Remember these seats are getting old....hard to find a mint set.
I drove 4-5 hrs each way to personally inspect mine before handing over the cash.
Oh boy was it worth it. I dont even drive my Avus car anymore...i think I need another euro set. Lol

Dave...I am jealous....dibs on your Avus? :)
My plan is to refresh the interior next year including door cards and seats.

Question: Do the Recaros that come in the Euro version RS6 have the hidden storage compartment underneath in the front like the B7 S4 Recaros do?

Mine don't have them, but I'm not sure if that's true of every set.
