Direct fit subframes for the Audi A6, bolting onto the car’s original seat mounting points.
A big car used for distance
The A6 tends to be someone’s main vehicle as well as their track day car, and that changes what the seat should do. A fixed back shell works well on circuit, but on a long motorway run a seat that cannot recline becomes obvious by the second hour. The reclining sport seats in the Cobra range fit this same frame and carry you properly at both ends of the day.
If the car is purely for track use, the fixed shell is the right answer and the wiring under the seat will need attention. The A6 runs airbag wiring through the seat, and removing the standard unit triggers dashboard warnings. Tell us the year and spec and we will confirm what is needed before the order ships.
Includes the base frame and the sliding runner. Sparco, Planted, OMP, Recaro and Corbeau all sell the runner separately. Suits Cobra base mountable buckets and reclining sport seats with a 291mm or 405mm handle. A side mounted seat needs adaption bars or side mounts.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Audi A6 (97 Onwards), including our fitting guide. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Audi A6. Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Cobra design each tailored frame around a particular seat, so check the Compatible seats tab above for the designed pairing. Other seats with a matching bolt pattern can work as cross-compatible components rather than a designed set, so ask us before mixing brands.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Yes, and unlike most brands the sliding runner comes included with a Cobra frame, in the price. That changes the like-for-like comparison against other makers, where the runner is a separate part on top. Our guide to sliding runners covers how they work.
Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.
