Euro RS6 seats, any good sources?

[Brav]

Theres a set in Germany for 1700 EUR.. complete w/ alcantara inserts. If I had the extra money, these would be mine. I have an office in Italy and a German-speaking employee so it wouldnt be so hard to have it shipped.

those are sweet, i wonder if its a huge pain shipping, customs etc?

[Brav]

Shipping can be done, I can try and help but my expertise is exporting cars from the US to EU. I have plenty of shipping contacts in Europe. The issue would be US customs with the airbag. Just has to be properly documented coming this way.

OK that would be great, I did email the seller(assuming he speaks english) and asked about shipping, would he be willing. I will ask about the airbags as soon as he replies

[Brav]

The cheapest way to get it all here would be to load it in a container in Bremerhaven with someone elses shipment to NJ. You are lucky to be there to go to the port and pick it up locally. Let me know what he says and if you go forward, I can try and help with this.

anyone have any ideas as to where i could get euro rs6 seats now?

Stephan was my contact in Germany to get the Euro RS6 Recaros. Great to deal with.
He took care of all the shipping, and once they arrive in the US, the shipping company contacts you to handle the customs and shipping if you want. At least the customs they can take care of, and if you want shipping they also handle that. Both at an additional price.

When I ordered the Sportec intercoolers, TNT shipping handled the customs clearance and shipping to my door as well.

Hope Stephan still around: stephanmueller1970(AT)gmx(DOT)de

Listing #1: Out of a c6 S6.

Listing #2: out of a c5 a6 im guessing bythe lack of imprinted s6 or rs6 logo.

Listing #3: Out of a silver interior rs6. Includes EVERYTHING. Seats are immaculate from pics. Includes all seats, door cards, roof liner, A/B/C pillars, sunvisors, seat belts and center armrest. great deal for the price...

Listing #4: Out of a silver interior rs6 avant. Will still fit, with minor mods to the side bolsters on rear IIRC.

I find the seats in my RS 6 Plus (euro seats) crap compared to my D2 S8 ones, just a thought, D2 S8 ones are available on the US - they are recaro too but a lot more supportive/way more adjustable and look quite good too.

I would agree. I actually think that the D2 S8 seats were the best seats EVER! They were amazing.

This is the route I would go, if I still had the disposable income I used to enjoy "pre change". http://www.rs6.com/showthread.php/19...ghlight=recaro

After looking at Euro seats.. I would definitely consider these in light of the hassle of importing them. I think they look great. And much better support near shoulder. look to be the same as RS3/TTRS seats, or very close.

Really wish stock seats had better upper body/shoulder support.

I agree, totally.

Well I'm looking to upgrade to Cognac if anyone wants my old ones. Not sure what shipping would be, but happy to find out if I get my cognac and I receive genuine interest.
