A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW CC, 2008 to 2017. Part number SB296.
The CC started life as the Passat CC and shares its underpinnings with the Passat of the period, though the two take separate parts here.
The roofline is the thing
A CC is a Passat with about 50mm taken out of the roof, which is the entire styling idea and also the practical problem. Headroom is noticeably tighter than in the saloon it is based on, particularly in the back but also for a tall driver in the front.
That makes getting properly low a real gain rather than a preference. If you are over six foot, a CC is a car where the seat height genuinely matters. Tell us your height before you order.
What it is not
A sports car. The CC is a comfortable four door coupe, and if the car covers distance, ask us about padded or reclining options rather than a hard racing shell.
Side airbags throughout. 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 VW CC (2008-2017). 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.
