A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Passat on the B8 chassis, 2015 onwards. Part number SB330.
B8 is the chassis code and it is what to order on. Volkswagen moved the Passat onto MQB for this generation, which is a genuinely different structure from the B7, so a B7 part will not do.
What you are likely building
Be honest about it, because it changes what you should buy. A B8 Passat is a large, comfortable car and very few end up on a circuit. The ones we see are usually either high mileage cars where the original seat has collapsed, or estate conversions and support vehicles where the driver spends real hours in the seat.
Both of those want a padded or reclining seat rather than a fixed racing shell. A hard bucket over a four hour motorway run is a decision you regret by the first services. Tell us how the car is used and we will point you at something sensible.
Before anything comes out
Side airbags, occupancy sensing and, on most specifications, powered adjustment. Tell us the specification.
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 Passat [B8 Chassis] (2015+). 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.
