Audi R8 (Type 4S) Bucket Seat Guide

The Audi R8 (15-Present)...

Once you start using your Audi R8 (Type 4S) for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support. 

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. 

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. 

We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Audi R8 (Type 4S) guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.

Recommended brackets: (Bucket seats)
We recommend using Planted Technology frames to successfully install the side mounted bucket seats we suggest in our guide, as the frame will fit any seat and fitting equipment we have suggested below.
