A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Honda Civic three door hatchback, 1984 to 1987, excluding the Si. Part number SB240.
Read the exclusion. The Si of these years takes a different bracket, so check what you actually have rather than going by the year. Send us the registration if you are not certain.
We list several Civics across narrow year windows: 1988 to 1989 is SB168, 1990 to 1991 is SB204 and 1992 to 1995 is SB041. Getting the window wrong is the commonest mistake on Honda fitments.
The third generation Civic
This is the one with the independent rear suspension that Honda introduced before anyone else in the class bothered, and it is the generation that established the reputation everything since has traded on.
Very light, so a heavy steel shell gives back a real proportion of the advantage. Ask us about lighter options.
Practical
Forty years old and they rust. Get the carpet up and look properly before you spend.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Budget Bucket Seats For A Honda Civic EK: What Fits, And What It Costs, 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 made for the Honda Civic 3 Door Hatch Back [Excluding Si] (1984-1987). 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.
