A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Kia Forte, second generation, 2014 to 2018. Part number SB302.
The first generation coupe takes SB201 and the saloon SB201-5031, so check the generation as well as the body.
What it is called where you are
Kia sold this car in Europe as the Cee’d and in some markets as the Cerato. If that is what you have, send us the registration, because Kia varied the specification between markets more than the shared platform suggests.
Which version you have decides the seat
The GT with the 1.6 turbo is a genuinely competent hot hatch and worth building. The ordinary cars are transport, and the honest reason for a seat swap there is usually a collapsed original in a high mileage car.
Those two buyers want opposite products. A racing shell in a car doing school runs is a poor decision, and a soft reclining seat in a car being tracked is a different poor decision. Tell us which you are and what the car is for.
Practical
Side airbags and occupancy sensing throughout. 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 Kia Forte [2nd Generation] (2014-2018). 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.
