i like those seats, cept I am dumb and keep reading it as caribou lol. Think they would be better w/o the text across them, but they definatly look good in there.

i'm surprized people needed a DIY for this

Nick06tC

I got mine at racing seats usa. here is the link: http://racing-seats-usa.com/60091.html

I got the wides so they were $688 shipped.

For the sliders, I got them used, but they have them on there for I think around $200 for a set. You are looking at about a little less than $900 for a complete setup.

I didnt do the spacers today. Worked way to hard and am tired. i will do them tho.

Nick06tC

Most people shouldnt need one. But alot of people are timid when it comes to working on a new car. I think it helps to see, its not so hard.

people pay to have intakes installed. No harder than this.

The seats look really good! Now the sensor in the cushion of the stock seats - what exactly is that and how would you move it to the A4s?

Nick06tC

That is the pressure sensor that gives a signal that someone is sitting there. I am not sure yet how i will transfer it. I am going to cut it out of the stock seats and see what all it is.

I figured as much, though shouldn't there always be a body in the driver's seat if the vehicle is moving? I mean isn't a sensor there kinda . . . pointless?

Nick06tC

I thought so also, but it might be weight sensitive and determine the strength of the airbag. i know it also has a sensor for seat position that determines rate of deployment based on how far away from the wheel you are. I havent figured out what to do with that either.

Righto. Well keep us updated. Those A4s look really sharp and it'd be nice if they worked with the airbags too.

do the resistor mod or the solder mod

Nick06tC

I bought the resistors yesterday.
I have a question tho. does it just trick the light, or does it make it actually think someone is sitting there and allow the airbag to deploy?

those seats are sick, your tC is very very nice looking, keep up the good work

awesome diy!

So did u ever install the spacers to make it sit higher? Also I don't care bout the airbag working so could I just not plug it back in? I am planning on getting a quick release steering wheel hub and all that anyways.

Nick06tC

I still havent done the resistors. I need to tho. Just been lazy and busy.

is the legroom any different than stock?

Nick06tC

No, its the same. they slide and fold just like stock. Only real difference is seat height is a little lower and they sit flat, I like how the stock ones, you could angle the bottom of the seat.

Elijahtc

Dude I can't wait to get mine once income tax time rolls around. Could u tell if they were any lighter than stock seats? Anything u don't like bout them?

I am gonna be getting them in red for my BSP. Can't wait to get them.

Can u PM me where u got them from and how much they cost?

I saw on Fastscions they had them but I don't know if that price is for 2 or just one.
