A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Audi A7, S7 and RS7, first generation, 2010 to 2017. Part number SB342.
The C7 platform, shared with the A6 of the same period. If you are cross referencing, the A6 and S6 bracket is SB348, and the two are separate parts despite the shared platform.
The RS7
Four litre twin turbo V8, four wheel drive, and around two tonnes. That combination generates cornering loads well beyond what a comfortable grand tourer seat was designed to resist, which is the whole reason anyone fits a shell to a car like this.
Nobody is doing it for weight. In a car this heavy a steel framed shell will not move the scales, and it is worth being clear about that before you spend.
The seats are the complicated part
An RS7 seat can have powered adjustment in several planes, memory, heating, ventilation, massage, side airbags and occupancy sensing. It is a wiring and coding job as much as a mechanical one.
Tell us the specification before you order anything and we will work through what has to be dealt with.
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 A7/S7/RS7. 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.
