I'm about 6'1", 185lbs and broader in the shoulders than waist(or at least
I like to think so).  The sport seats fit me quite well, though I wish they
had the extendable thigh support like those in an S6.  The OE supplier is
most likely Recaro, but this doesn't mean much.  Recaro supplies seats for
a lot of cars.

You should try the seats before buying, but I like them and think they were
definitely worth it.
