Mazda MX5 Mk4 Bucket Seat Guide

Mazda MX-5 MK4 Seat Guide

The MX-5 story (2015-present)...

The MX 5 Mk4 has tantalising mix of agility, affordability and style which has made this car very popular for track days and other fast road use. 

Once you start using your MX-5 for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support. 

On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner. 

None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand. 

We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our Mazda MX-5 seat guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.

Recommended brackets:

We recommend using the planted technology and PCI frames for fitting in bucket and reclining seats into your MX-5 MK4 as this frame will fit perfectly into the car and line up with the bolt patterns at the base of the car. The PCI Frame is an all in one fitting kit that includes both sliding runners and side mounts, can only be used with side mounted bucket seats.

Option 1: Reclining seat – Sliding Runners – Planted Technology Frame – Vehicle 

Option 2: Bucket seat – Side mounts – Sliding Runner – Planted Technology Frame / PCI Frame – Vehicle 

**NOTE** Cobra fitting equipment for Cobra seats only!
