Thanks for the fast response. It’s crazy here, you can get a 35tfsi with 150hp and make it look like a S4 by adding the interior and exterior S-line packages. Built to order and that’s that.

So how do I know which seats I currently have?

I also see that there are some aftermarket (3rd party) seat options on ECS tuning. Can I put one of those in?

Probably easiest to either look for the codes I mentioned on your vehicle identification sticker (should be in your maintenance booklet) or just post a pic of them. The three primary seat types are pretty distinct from one another.

The sports seats are OK for me (5' 7" 150lb).

I like my friend's Mazda Miata's bolstering better - really hugs my body.

you sure can, and you’ll end up with an airbag light, and then having to sort out how to eliminate it. Means no more passing inspection, and means violating federal laws, and likely removing the obligation of your insurance company’s obligation to pay should you find yourself in an accident.

If you don’t like the seats, and this is a daily car,
get rid of the car for something you’re more comparable with.

At this point, I think it's enough to post a picture and most will be able to say if you have the nomal, sport or S-sport seats.
