A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Acura CL, 1997 to 1999. Part number SB233.
The first generation CL, the coupe version of the Accord and TL family of the period. The 2001 to 2003 CL coupe takes SB251.
A car almost nobody remembers
Acura built the first CL for three years and it sold modestly even then. That is the practical point: parts do not exist new, the aftermarket never bothered, and the supply is whatever is left in scrapyards.
So a bolt in bracket that needs nothing fabricated is worth more here than on a car with alternatives, and keeping the original seats whole genuinely matters. Store them and their fixings somewhere dry.
What it shares
Honda Accord underpinnings of the period, which is where to look for mechanical parts. If you are cross referencing, search Accord rather than CL.
Practical
Twenty five years old. Get the carpet up and check the metal round the mounting points before you spend.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. 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 Acura CL. 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?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
