A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Saturn Ion, 2003 to 2007. Part number SB243.
The Red Line is the reason
Supercharged Ecotec, a limited slip differential and a Recaro option, in a car most people remember for its plastic body panels. It shares its running gear with the Chevrolet Cobalt SS, which is where to look for mechanical parts.
The doors are the odd part
The Ion Quad Coupe has rear hinged half doors that only open once the front door is open, which changes how much room you have getting in and out past the B pillar area with a fixed shell. If yours is a Quad Coupe rather than a saloon, tell us.
Saturn is gone
General Motors closed the brand in 2010 and nobody makes Ion interior parts. The bracket picks up the factory mounting points so the originals come out whole. Store them and their fixings somewhere dry, because you will not replace them.
Side airbags are fitted. 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 Saturn Ion. 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.
