A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Ford Focus ST225, 2008 to 2011. Part number SB114-ST225.
The suffix places this within the SB114 family, which covers the facelifted Mk2 Focus. If you have an ordinary Mk2 rather than an ST, that is the listing to look at.
The ST225 is a five cylinder car
Which is the whole point of it. The 2.5 litre Volvo derived five, turbocharged, in a front wheel drive hatchback, and it sounds like nothing else in the class. That engine is why people still build these and why the tuning support behind them remains strong.
The Recaros are the conversation
The ST225 came with Recaro seats as standard and they are genuinely good, considerably better than most factory items. Before you spend anything, tell us what you are trying to achieve, because a fair number of ST owners would do better keeping them and putting the money into a harness bar, belts and a head restraint.
If you are caging the car or running to a class rule, that changes the answer and we will work it through.
A factory Recaro will not bolt to standard side mounts. Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Get the Ford Focus RS Mk2 Look Today, and Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, 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.
