New Seats Are Installed

Got my A4's Installed Today....everything went pretty smooth..hardest part was getting the Track bolted to the bottom of the seat..trying to get the track to slide forward and back is a little tough not being attached to something...LOL...the Track holes were close...no filing or anything...just had to work at getting it lined up...Tracks fell right into place on the floor studs....Only Down Side is It's tough to adjust the tilt back being you have to switch the seats around for the seat belt..hard to get your hand in there..but once you get it where you like it your good to go..how often to you move it again....Looks Good...seats are a Snug Fit...but feel good...Great Upgrade for Sure...

Looks great!! Glad you are enjoying the new seats. I have heard a lot of good things about the Corbeau A4's. I just ordered the Corbeau Evolution X seats for my my car. Can't wait to get them installed in the car.

They look great! Manually adjusted, big plus in my book! Wonder exactly how much lighter, has to be quite a bit? Congrats on a very nice upgrade. When mine get too badly worn I know which way I will go, thanks. Mike
