An OMP direct fit subframe for the Seat Leon Mk2, covering the Cupra and Cupra R. Part number OMP5HDJZ316.
Mk2 only
This frame is cut for the Mk2 floor and it is not the right part for a Mk1 or a Mk3. The Mk1 sits on a completely different stem, shared with most of that earlier VW generation.
Order on the generation rather than the model name, and send us the registration if you would like it confirmed first.
Cupra and Cupra R
Both have a following in UK club racing and at track days, and both are quick enough that the standard seat becomes the limiting factor before the chassis does.
The usual reasons for the change here are harness compatibility and getting the hip point down. Comfort is rarely the driver, because the factory Cupra seat is a decent road seat.
Seat brand stays open
The plates carry two bolt patterns rather than one: 345mm by 271mm for Sparco, OMP and Corbeau base mount seats, and 405mm by 290mm for Recaro. An OMP frame therefore takes a Recaro where a Sparco frame will not.
The detail
Steel, base mount, bolting to the mounting points already in the car, so nothing is drilled.
Sold singly and handed. Order twice for both sides, and mention the side airbags when you order.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Seat Leon Mk3, including our fitting guide, and Customer Car: BMW E39 With Bucket Seats Fitted Using Planted Technology Subframes. 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 Seat Leon Mk2. 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) and 405mm x 290mm (the Recaro seat pattern). 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 OMP 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.
