The HC851 covers the Suzuki Swift manufactured between 2006 and 2010. The Swift is a popular track day and autocross platform: light, with good power-to-weight in the Sport version, and genuine fun on a tight circuit. Replacing the standard seats is a straightforward improvement to driving position, and OMP’s vehicle-specific subframe makes the installation clean.
Steel construction, powder-coated black. The HC851 drops into the factory floor mounting points in place of the original seat runners. No drilling. OMP’s subframe carries both the 345mm x 271mm pattern (OMP and Sparco seats) and the 405mm x 290mm pattern (Recaro), so all four brands work: Corbeau, OMP, Recaro, and Sparco base-mount seats are compatible.
One installation note specific to this car: when the original interior panels and carpet are left in place, the subframe needs spacers off the floor to clear the carpet thickness correctly. If the car is stripped, this step does not apply. If the interior is retained, plan for it before fitting.
Sold as a single. For driver and passenger seats, order two. Available in RHD driver side and RHD passenger side. No bolts supplied.
If you are ordering the frame before the seat is decided, let us know which seat you plan to use and we will check the bracket requirements upfront. The bracket between the subframe and seat varies by seat make, and sorting that before parts arrive saves an extra order.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Suzuki Alto Works (HA36S) Seat Guide: A BRIDE Rail For Every Type Of Seat, and A Definitive Guide to Safety Devices Roll Cages for Suzuki Models. 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 Suzuki Swift. 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.
