A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Audi A4 and S4 on the B5 chassis with manual seats, 1994 to 2002. Part number SB005.
Manual seats is the fitment
Read that before ordering. Audi cars of this era split by whether the seats are powered, because the motors and their mounting change the floor arrangement. The powered seat version is SB002.
Look under the seat. If there are switches on the seat base and a loom running to it, you have powered seats and want the other part. If adjustment is by levers and a handwheel, this is the one. Send us a photograph if it is not obvious.
What a B5 is worth building
The 1.8T is the cheap route and it takes tuning readily. The S4 with the twin turbo 2.7 V6 is the serious one, and the RS4 Avant built on this platform is one of the great fast estates.
Practical
Twenty five to thirty years old. Get the carpet up and check the metal round the mounting points before you spend anything.
Handed, so order twice for a pair.
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 Audi A4 Type B5. 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.
