A pair of Sparco direct fit sub-frames for the Volkswagen Golf Mk4. Part number 00499075-X2.
This listing is the pair rather than a single frame, which is what you want when a car is being stripped and both fronts are going in at once.
What it does
Each frame bolts to the floor mounting points Volkswagen already put in the car and presents a flat 345mm by 271mm base for the seat. No drilling, no fabricated brackets, and the seat load goes into structure designed to carry it.
That pattern covers Sparco base mount seats and also OMP and Corbeau base mount seats, which use the same spacing. The old claim on this range that the frames only take seats of the same make was not correct.
Side mount competition shells need side mounts or adaption bars fitted above the frame.
Before you order
Tell us the seats. Frames in this range are either complete replacement frames or adaption bars that work with what is already in the car, decided by the vehicle rather than by anything you choose, and the photograph on the page is illustrative.
If harnesses are going in as well, do the seats first and set the driving position before you decide where the belts anchor. Seat height moves your shoulder line and that is what dictates where the straps are allowed to run.

Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Volkswagen Golf Mk6, including our fitting guide, and Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Volkswagen Golf Mk5, including our fitting guide. 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 Volkswagen Golf Mk4. 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?
It takes seats drilled 345mm x 271mm (the Sparco and OMP seat pattern). 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 Sparco frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Base mount or side mount, and does it matter?
This is a base-mount frame: the seat bolts down through its base, the simpler stack that suits seats with a flat bottom and keeps the install low-fuss. Our guide on base mount versus side mount explains the whole fitting stack.
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.
