A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Mitsubishi Galant, sixth generation, 1987 to 1993. Part number SB282.
This is where the Evo came from
The sixth generation Galant gave us the VR-4: four wheel drive, four wheel steering and a turbocharged 4G63. Mitsubishi built it to homologate for Group A rallying, and when the regulations moved on they put the same drivetrain into a smaller Lancer body and called it the Evolution.
So a Galant VR-4 is the direct ancestor of every Evo, and it uses the engine that ran through to the Evo 9.
Which makes them worth keeping
Good VR-4s are scarce and appreciating, and parts are getting hard. The bracket picks up the factory mounting points so nothing is cut and the original seats come out whole. Store them somewhere dry.
Practical
Thirty five years old and Japanese. Get the carpet up and look at 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 Mitsubishi Galant (6th Generation). 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.
