Audi A3 8P bucket seat guide
Audi A3 8P Bucket Seat Guide
The Audi A3 8L...
At the 2003 Geneva Motor Show, Audi launched the second generation of the A3, the Typ 8P. This generation of the A3 was produced in 2003-2013. The Audi A3 8P, simply put, easy to tune and fantastic to track! Once you start using your Audi A3 8P for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.Â
On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner.Â
None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand.Â
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Audi A3 8P guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
