Hi
I’m wondering which seats are able to be used in the C5 RS6 from the later model RS series?
I’m after something like the B7 RS4 or newer in that Recaro style.
Thanks

Later model RS seats in C5 RS6?
Re: Later model RS seats in C5 RS6?
Coming forma Show Car background, I guess anything can be made to fit if you can alter the bases. I have stuck many different seats in many different VAG models over the years. Weather they will be a direct fit though I have no idea.

Anythings possible it’s just if they can physically fit. I put some Recaro CS in mine (thread here - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=124514 ) a friend of mine has put some C7 RS6 seats in his B5 RS4.

You also have to think about the fact that just front seats alone will look very out of place. Totally different style, different leather etc....
If doing it properly you would need to do fronts, rears, door cards etc or it will all look mismatched.

I always find that you should try to stick with stock setups as much as possible. With that said, I did swap my C5 RS6 US seats for a set of C5 RS6 Recaro Euro-spec'd ones. It was the same leather tone, and it was from the same model type and year. The Euro spec'd RS6 Recaros for the C5 were pretty good.

Bet those weren't easy to source.
Daytona RS6 C5 Avant. Viper'd, Billies, Waggers, MTM box brain, C6 stoppers, xcarlink, R8 coolant cap (woohoo)
