I would really appreciate hearing some tech here on the install and some pictures along the way. I may do the same soon and would like some prior guidance. Did they come with C5 brackets or do they go on the stock rails. I am 6'4 and 215 so I need all the room possible so let us know how it goes.

You will have to buy the rails that go with the seats and then put the passenger seat on the drivers side and the drivers seat on the passenger side. Its really not a big deal and they are a pretty good fit with much better support.

A4's
Depending upon your preferred seating position, you may want to put a few washers in the front between the floor mounting bracket and the seat bracket. Even though the Corbeau bracket appears to have a bit of a rearward/backward tilt to it on level ground, in the car, the seat bottom is relatively flat. My preferred driving position with my stock seats, was to have the front of the seat tipped upward for a bit of a reclined position. I'm going to add a couple more washers to my seats to raise the front of the seat up to about 3/4", I think that'll be a lot more comfortable to me personally.

Could you measure a couple of thing for me...
1. The width of the rear of the base of the seat NOT INCLUDING the *****
2. The width with the *****
Im thinking its around 18 or so
Thanks!
