Default replacement driver seat

2008 A4 2.0T manual sedan

What options are out there for replacement driver seats ?

Specifically I would like a seat that isn't so "indented".

I'm not sure exactlyhow to describe this : I have verywide shoulders and built-up back muscles, and I feel like I have to squish into mydriver seat.

Perhaps this would be a non-sport seat. I think ever car I test-drove with sport-type seats was like this for me.

I'm not really that big. 6'2" 220.

I think it's more the shape of the seat , not the size of the seat. I remember I drove a Honda Civic Hybrid which was fineand then the Si with sport seats which bugged me.

i still have the stock 97 a4 seats that i pulled out of my car, and they are far from bicket lol... or you could go with a racing seat with a wider base i know there was an option for that when i got mine. for example http://www.recaro.com/index.php?id=1990&region=3&L=2 there are teh RECARO Profi, and then there is a RECARO Profi XL that is a bit wider.

Those Recaro's look even more bucket than my seats. Plus my seats are leather.I wonder if they gave me the S seats by mistake.
