A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Mazda 3, third generation. Part number SB264.
The BM and BN cars, 2013 to 2018. We list three Mazda 3 brackets and none interchange: SB260, this one, and SB404 for the fourth generation. Send us the registration and we will name the part.
What changed with this generation
Mazda’s Skyactiv work, which took real weight out of the car and sharpened the chassis considerably. This is the generation where the 3 became genuinely good to drive rather than merely competent, and it is why they turn up at track days.
There is no MPS version of this generation. Mazda dropped the turbocharged model after the previous one, so if you are looking for a Mazdaspeed 3, that is an earlier car.
What the swap gains you
The standard seat is comfortable and offers very little laterally, which shows up quickly once you use the chassis properly.
Side airbags and occupancy sensing. Handed, so order twice for a pair.
