    Hey peoples,

    I've seen the question asked, but they always sidebar off into nothing.

    I have a 2015 S3 and the seats just dont quite fit well for me.

    Are there other models that can be fit into the S3? Light/Medium modification is OK. I just dont want to have to end up adding 4 inches of "seat" somewhere which would end up being a full reupholster anyway.

    Would love to hear thoughts!

    Dunno for sure, but I would think A4/A4/Q etc. seats would all fit. A4 seats used to get all kinds of ergo awards. I've swapped seats in lots of cars, but not the Audis. I get a sore butt in the S3 and R8 within a couple hours.

    No, actually not low enough for me! I would love to go down about 1 inch and have considered modifying the rails to get it.

    I bought 2 x 2015 audi's at the same time - the S3 and S5. The 15 S3 is a way better car, but the S5 seats and seating in general was FAR superior.

    I want to feel like I'm driving a sports car. But with 4 doors....

    Lol - Golf R "anything" fits for the most part. I dont think aftermarket manufacturers ever used an S3 for their install guides for aftermarket parts - its ALWAYS a golf R.. lol
