I’m 5’ 9” tall, and my legs measure 34” from my hip bone to the bottom of my heel. If you’re any smaller, definitely drive a Vette with A4’s before buying them.

Good thing i read that! I'm a midget only like 5"6 tall

I was looking at this aswell. But I really don't want something with even worse leather.

I have the black leather A4s and think that the leather is better than the stock leather for sure.

Cipher Auto seats DO NOT fit and we stopped carrying them due to quality issues... their lower end line of seats is crap.

Not sure but the quality is pretty good IMO. We've not had anyone complain about the Corbeau leather over the last 5 years we've been selling the seats.

I'm 5'6" myself and I have NOT had any issues with the A4 in a C5. We've installed many sets in C5 and C6s and I fit great in them in the vehicles.

You should be ok but you may have to modify the bracket so you can sit a little closer

Corbeau leather is NOT worse than factory leather... not at all
