A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Golf, GTI, Jetta and Rabbit on the Mk2 chassis, 1985 to 1992. Part number SB028.
This is the base part for the Mk2 family. We also list it separately against the Golf Mk2 and the Jetta Mk2 so that owners searching for their specific car find a page naming it. Same bracket.
Rabbit is the North American name for the Golf, so if you have a Mk2 Golf, that is the same car.
Values have changed what this job is
Good Mk2 GTIs and 16v cars are worth real money now after decades of being cheap. Original interiors are a large part of that, and a Recaro equipped Mk2 has seats worth money in their own right.
The bracket picks up the factory mounting points so nothing is cut, which matters on a car people are now restoring rather than modifying.
The floor check is a real one
Mk2s rust round the floors, the sills and the seams. Get the carpet up and look properly before you spend anything.
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 Golf/GTI/Jetta/Rabbit [MK2 Chassis] (1985-1992). 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.
