RE: 200 TQW headroom

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

... that's funny, at 6'4" in the '88 5kCSQA I find that the headliner is a
bit closer to my head than I would like but it isn't a problem ... must be a
difference in torso vs. leg length ...

Audi did have available a seat frame that was about an inch shorter than the
older cars.  I'm pretty sure that in 1991 all 200QAs in the USA had the
lower seat frame (from reading the 1991 Model Changes book).  My suspicion
is that even the older cars with the sport seats have the smaller frame as
well.  The '91 V8 has the lower seat frame as well, and there is absolutely
no issue with headroom for me in that car.  

HTH!
