Direct fit subframes for the Audi TT Mk1, fixing to the mounting points the car already has.
The seat and the wheel move together
Dropping the seat changes your relationship with the steering wheel as much as with the floor. Sit lower and the rim sits higher relative to your hands, and a driving position that was comfortable can end up feeling like you are reaching up at it.
Most people are pleased with the change and a few want the wheel adjusted afterwards to match. Worth knowing it is a possibility before you start, because it is easier to plan for than to discover.
Tell us your height and the seat you are considering and we will give you a sense of where you will end up.
What you get
Base frame and sliding runner, in the price. Sparco, Planted, OMP, Recaro and Corbeau all charge for the runner separately.
What it will take
Cobra base mountable buckets and reclining sport seats, 291mm or 405mm wide handle. Not a side mounted seat without adaption bars or side mounts.
Tell us the seat at checkout. Priced per frame, which fits one seat.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Audi TT MK1, including our fitting guide, and Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Audi TT Mk2, including our fitting guide. 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 made for the Audi TT MK1. 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?
Cobra design each tailored frame around a particular seat, so check the Compatible seats tab above for the designed pairing. Other seats with a matching bolt pattern can work as cross-compatible components rather than a designed set, so ask us before mixing brands.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Yes, and unlike most brands the sliding runner comes included with a Cobra frame, in the price. That changes the like-for-like comparison against other makers, where the runner is a separate part on top. Our guide to sliding runners covers how they work.
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.
