Direct fit subframes for the Porsche 944, fixing to the mounting points the car already has. Part number COBTQB9C327.
Worth checking the car first
The 944 ran for a long time and the interior changed through the production run, so the floor arrangement is the thing to confirm rather than assume. Tell us the year and we will make sure the frame matches what is actually in your car before it ships.
Worth doing on a car of this age for another reason too. Seat mounting points sit in an area that takes water, so it is worth looking at the condition of the floor around them while the old seat is out. A frame bolted to sound metal is a different thing from a frame bolted to something that has been quietly rusting under a carpet.
The runner is included
The sliding runner comes with the frame rather than costing extra, so the seat keeps its fore and aft travel. Sparco, Planted, OMP, Recaro and Corbeau all charge separately for theirs.
What the frame decides
It replaces the standard seat runners and sets your final seat height and how far back you sit. In a car with a low roofline that is the figure to check first, particularly if a helmet is involved.
Before you order
Built around the Cobra seat range. Base mount at 291mm x 330mm. Priced per frame, which fits one seat.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Porsche 944, 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 Porsche 944 (From 8/1973 to 9/1984). 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.
