A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Acura TSX, 2004 to 2008. Part number SB178.
In this country that car is the Honda Accord of the same period, the CL7 and CL9. Acura was Honda’s North American badge and the TSX is the European Accord sold under it, which is why the naming reads back to front from here.
The second generation TSX takes SB276.
The Type S is the one
The UK and Japanese Accord Type S and Euro R have the K20 and a properly sorted chassis, and they are quick enough that the standard seat becomes the limit long before anything else does.
The Euro R in particular came with Recaro seats that are worth real money in their own right. If yours has them, tell us before you spend, and note a factory Recaro will not bolt to standard side mounts because Recaro use their own arrangement.
Practical
Side airbags are fitted. Tell us the specification before anything comes out.
Handed, so order twice for a pair.
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 TSX. 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.
