Planted Technology seat brackets for the Toyota GT86. Part number SB161DR-GT86.
The GT86, the Subaru BRZ and the Scion FR-S are one car built together at the same plant. Planted’s own SB161 listing covers all three; we list it under each badge so a GT86 owner finds a GT86 page. Same bracket, so order from whichever one you are on.
Why these get seated more than almost anything
Grip is deliberately modest and the car rewards precision rather than bravery. That is the whole design brief and it is why they teach people to drive properly.
It is also exactly why the seat matters. You cannot be precise with the wheel while your other hand is holding you in place, and on a car that gives you so little margin, sliding about costs you more than it would in something faster.
Headroom
Tight with a helmet on, which is the usual reason owners fit a shell on a proper bracket rather than perching a seat higher. Tell us your height.
Side airbags throughout. Handed, so order twice for a pair.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Customer Question: Fitting A Bride Stradia III Into A Toyota GT86 (ZN6), 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 Toyota GT86. 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.
