... actually there is another option ...

I have noticed in the service bulletin fiche that there is a replacement seat 
frame that lowers the seat ... available from Audi.  I trolled the net to see
if I could find one, to no avail.  I don't have the P/N or even the TSB # at
hand, but if I get a chance I'll look it up again tonight.  You might be able
to find it through the hypertext archives ...

In the final analysis it is pretty likely that the "official" solution would
be the most expensive.

HTH!
