corbeau seats question

can you use the c5 stock seatbelts with the A4s? Or, do I have to order new seatbelts...

The stock belts work fine with the A4 seats.

Also the drivers side goes on passenger and vice versa.TPSMARK the vendor can give you more details and options if need be.

I found that the factory nuts were not the same thread as the threads on the bolt for the corbeau seat tracks. I had to change the threads on the bolt stud to make them work.

Stock seat belts work fine on my A4's.
Leave the connector cable "disconnected" on the seat belt and the car will ALWAYS think the seat belt is connected...

Mark, you don't do that do you?

Now that I have your attention, what color and material did you get with yours? fabric, suede, or leather? any advice?

The red looks awesome in the catalog but I am afraid it is way too much in the car....

I went with the leather. Sorta retains the stock look inside the car which is what I wanted. Also.. The cloth, and suede come with the CORBEAU stitched into the seat. I did not want that. I always try to keep my mods clean and simple.
