A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Ford Probe, 1993 to 1997. Part number SB230.
The second generation Probe is a Mazda underneath, built on the MX-6 and 626 platform with Mazda engines. The MX-6 of the same years takes SB285.
The car Ford meant to replace the Mustang with
Genuinely. Ford intended the Probe to succeed the Mustang and the reaction from owners was so hostile that they kept both. That history is most of why the Probe has never been taken seriously, which in turn is why they are cheap.
The KL-DE V6 is a Mazda unit with a Mazda parts supply behind it, and it revs properly. For a cheap coupe to build, there are worse starting points.
Practical
Thirty years old, cheap for all of it, and few were cherished. Get the carpet up and look at the metal round the mounting points before you spend anything.
The standard seat is soft and gives you nothing to brace against, which becomes obvious quickly.
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 Ford Probe (1993-1997). 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.
