A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Acura TL, 1996 to 1998. Part number SB205.
The first generation TL. We list three and none interchange: 1999 to 2003 is SB179 and 2004 to 2008 is SB258.
The five cylinder one
Worth knowing because it is unusual. The first TL was offered with a 2.5 litre inline five, which Honda almost never built, alongside a 3.2 V6. The five cylinder cars are the odd ones and have a small following purely for that.
In Japan the related cars were the Honda Inspire and Saber. If you have an import, send us the chassis number.
What the swap is realistically for
These are approaching thirty years old and were built as comfortable executive saloons. The honest reason for a seat change is usually a collapsed original rather than track work.
Ask us about padded or reclining options rather than a fixed racing bucket if that is your situation.
Get the carpet up and check the metal, given the age.
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 Acura TL. 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.
