Direct fit subframes for the Ferrari 430, bolting to the existing mounting points under the seat.
Decide what you are actually solving
A 430 came with good seats, and several cars left the factory with carbon shells already. So the question worth answering before spending anything is which of three things is bothering you: how high you sit, how much the seat holds you through a corner, or whether it will take a harness.
The frame answers the first. The seat answers the second. The third depends on slots in the shell and somewhere structural to anchor to, and it needs planning alongside rather than afterwards.
Tell us which it is and we will be straight about whether a change is worth making at all.
What you get
The base frame and the sliding runner, included in the price. The other five makers sell the runner separately.
What it will take
Cobra base mountable buckets and reclining sport seats with a 291mm or 405mm wide handle. Motorsport seats and the Nogaro need side mounts.
Nothing is drilled, so the car returns to standard whenever you want. Priced per frame, which fits one seat.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Ferrari 430. 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.
