A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Audi RS6 on the C5 chassis, 2002 to 2004. Part number SB212.
The first RS6: twin turbo 4.2 V8 developed with Cosworth, four wheel drive, and around two tonnes of it. Audi built them for two years only.
What that weight means for this decision
Nobody is fitting a competition seat to a C5 RS6 to save weight. It will not register. What changes is that you stop moving about, and in a car that carries this much speed with this much grip, you move about more than the plush interior leads you to expect.
Be clear about that before you spend, because it is the only honest reason to do it.
The Recaros
The C5 RS6 came with Recaro seats as standard and they are part of what a good one is worth now. Values on these have started to move after twenty years of being cheap. Store them and their fixings somewhere dry and label them, and note a factory Recaro will not bolt to standard side mounts.
The electronics
Powered adjustment, memory, heating and side airbags. Tell us the specification.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. 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 RS6. 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.
