Didn't know you could get bucket seats in a rs6 that's similar to the ones in the rs4.

Guessing they are as rare as hens teeth!?

Who has them and are they worth it?

I have a set and yes they are very rare and well worth it. The comfort seats just throws you about in comparison. I believe you cannot fit the RS4 seats to the RS6 because of the frame/runners being different. You do however lose the side airbags and the memory seat funtions but what they will give you in terms of support far exceeds the shortfalls IMO.

Pretty sure there's a plus on autotrader at the moment with the buckets. Think the car was like a red oxide colour though (obviously an exclusive).

I know I'm digging up a very old thread but since one exists I didn't want to open a new one.
Josh might not be reading here anymore, are there other users with RS4 seats? Finding seats from an RS6 seems to be very difficult.
Looking in the parts catalogue I saw that the seat frame has the same part number for RS4 2006-2008 and 2013-2016 and the C6. This should mean that the bucket seats can be installed, even if the wiring won't match. Can anyone confirm that?
