Direct fit subframes for the Volkswagen Golf Mk7, in steel, picking up the standard seat mounting points, with nothing drilled. Part number SU-VW-GO7.
The frame decides more than the seat does
It replaces the standard seat runners and picks up the floor points already in the car, so there is no drilling and nothing to fabricate. What it then sets is your seat height and how far back you can sit, and those two things shape how the car feels far more than which shell you chose.
People tend to spend a long time on the seat and no time on the frame. It is worth the other way round: get the position right first, then pick the shell that suits your build.
The runner is included
Cobra supply the sliding runner with the frame at no extra cost, where Sparco, Planted, OMP, Recaro and Corbeau all sell it separately. The seat keeps its fore and aft travel and the true cost comparison is closer than it first looks.
One side or both
Driver side, passenger side, or the pair. The same frame also fits the Golf Mk8, which kept the same floor arrangement.
Before you order
Built around the Cobra seat range, so anything else is cross compatible rather than a designed pairing. Base mount at 291mm x 330mm. Priced per frame, which fits one seat.
If the car stays on the road, talk to us about the airbag and occupancy sensing before you start.
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 Mk7. 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.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
This listing covers a pair, driver and passenger side for a right-hand-drive car. Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
