A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Audi R8, first generation, 2006 to 2015. Part number SB102.
The first generation R8 shares its platform with the Lamborghini Gallardo, which is worth knowing because it explains why so much of what is under the trim does not look like an Audi.
Talk to us before you order this one
Genuinely. On a car at these values the installation has to be reversible and it has to be right. This bracket picks up the factory mounting points so nothing is cut, which is the only approach worth considering, but R8 seats carry airbags, occupancy sensing and powered adjustment, and on the lightweight and GT specifications the standard shells are worth serious money in their own right.
Tell us what the car is, what it is for, and what you are considering, and we will work the whole thing through with you before anything is ordered.
Space
An R8 cabin is tight round the shoulders and the sills are wide. Getting in and out of a fixed shell in one is a different proposition from getting into the standard seat, so tell us your height and build and be honest about how the car is used.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Top 5 reclining seat choices for your Audi R8, including our fitting guide, and Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026. 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 Audi R8. 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?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. 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 Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
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.
