    You're wrong Just kidding, each to their own. When did you try them out, impressions? Stocks are a bit soft and allow a bit too much movement for my taste.

    Front seats

    Here are the pictures of the before US Recaro RS6 and after Euro Recaro Rs6 seats. I am very pleased with the look and feel. The euro front seats make you feel more secured when sitting in them.

    How did you deal with the seat coding to deal with the airbag light?

    After comparing the wiring of both seats, I found out that the reason people get the airbag light is that it has to do with the euro seats having seat belt buckles that do not have the sensor on them. if you look at the bottom of the US seat belt holder, you will see two green wires that come off it and go to the red connector underneath the seat, which are not there in the euro seats. This is the code I got when putting my passenger seat in.

    00592 - Seat Belt Switch; Passenger (E25)
    010 - Open or Short to Plus - MIL ON

    I am going to get some US seat belt connectors (part numbers are listed on my current seat belt holders) that have the wires and use audi repair wires to put them in their respective slots on the red connector. This should then get rid of the airbag light. I could just transfer over the seat belt holders on my current seats but i want to sell them so I will keep them on.

    I can confirm that if you swap your belt tensioners from your seats to the euro recaros and put the wires in their respective place on the red connector, no airbag light. The passengers side has two green wires and the drivers side has two green and two black wires coming from the belt tensioner
