A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Cadillac CTS-V, 2009 to 2014. Part number SB164.
The one that ran a Nurburgring lap to prove a point
The second generation CTS-V has the supercharged LSA and Magnetic Ride Control, and Cadillac ran it round the Nordschleife under eight minutes and made a great deal of noise about it. It was a genuine attempt to be taken seriously against BMW M and Mercedes AMG, and it largely worked.
There was a wagon and a coupe as well as the saloon, and the wagon with a manual gearbox is one of the rarest and most sought after American cars of the period.
The Recaros
Optional and excellent, with adjustable bolsters. If your car has them, tell us what you are trying to solve first, because there are owners who would do better keeping them and spending on belts.
A factory Recaro will not bolt to standard side mounts.
The electronics
Powered adjustment, memory, heating, side airbags and occupancy sensing. 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 Cadillac CTS-V 4 Door. 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.
