Toque,
Thanks for the answers. I just want to make 100% sure about what I need to do before I spend any $$$. My car is a stripper so it doesn't have memory or the telescoping wheel...just makes it easier.
I'm working on selling the C6 seats that I have in my car. If that works out I'll be ordering a set of these real soon.

In order to mount them on the stock electrics you'd have to raise the base at least 3 inches.
The stock seat motor actually sits up into the seat base on stock seats.

Are there any issues with passenger side airbag not being active? I thought that was turned on when 50+ lbs is placed in passenger seat. I want to make sure I don't lose the airbags. thanks

My 2004 Z06 has the air bag switch in the glove box. I think that was added in 2001 ? I don't think that the older FRC's had a switch in the glove box. I am not sure though.
Either way..... I don't think you will have issues in any C5 with the passenger side airbag.

Hey, are you by chance going to the C5/C6 Bash next weekend? Would love to sit on one of these A4 seats.

How do you think these would fair on a long trip? I just took an 800 mile trip in my car, and it was very uncomfortable after awhile. My back hurt and after a few hours I really wanted nothing more than to get out of the car. I'm about 5'10, 175 lbs, so I'm not worried about fitting in the seats, I'm worried about my back after a long drive!
