A pair of Planted Technology seat brackets for the Honda Civic three door hatchback, 1988 to 1989. Part number SB168-X2, and the price is for two.
This listing is the pair, driver and passenger together. The single is SB168, so if you only need one side, that is the one to order.
Narrow year window
Honda changed the EF Civic through this period and we list several brackets across it: 1990 to 1991 is SB204 and 1992 to 1995 is SB041. Send us the registration if you are near a boundary year.
Why the EF is worth building
Double wishbone suspension at both ends on an ordinary hatchback, which nobody else in the class offered, and very light with it. That is why they are still winning club events thirty five years on.
Because the car is so light, a heavy steel framed shell gives back a real slice of what makes it quick. Ask us about the lighter GRP and composite options.
These rust and most have been modified. Get the carpet up before you spend.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Budget Bucket Seats For A Honda Civic EK: What Fits, And What It Costs, and Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, 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.
