A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Volvo V70R, second generation, 2000 to 2007. Part number SB410.
The V70R of this era is a four wheel drive estate with around 300 horsepower and Four-C active damping, which was a genuinely serious specification for a Volvo and is why they still have a following.
The seats it came with
Worth raising first. The V70R came with distinctive heavily bolstered seats, often in Atacama leather, and they are among the better factory seats of the period. They are also part of what a good R is worth.
If yours has them, tell us what you are trying to achieve before you spend. There are R owners who would do better keeping them and putting the money elsewhere, and we would rather say that than take the order.

The S60 R shares this generation. If that is what you have, send us the registration and we will confirm the fitment.
Before anything comes out
Volvo integrated whiplash protection into the seat structure and there is powered adjustment and side airbag wiring in there. Tell us the specification and we will work through it.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Planted Technology Volvo Sub-Frames: Ready For The 2025 Racing Season. 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 Volvo V70R [2nd Generation] (2000-2007). 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.
