A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Golf, GTI and Jetta on the Mk3 chassis, 1993 to 1998. Part number SB026.
Planted’s own listing. We also list it separately against the Golf Mk3 and the Jetta Mk3 so owners find a page naming their car. Same bracket.
The VR6 is why anyone bothers
Volkswagen’s narrow angle six cylinder, which let them fit a V6 transversely in a hatchback engine bay. It sounds unlike anything else and it made the Mk3 the first Golf that was quick in a straight line rather than merely nimble.
It also makes the car nose heavy, which shows up in a corner and is exactly when a seat that holds you earns its keep.
The generation nobody was sentimental about
Which kept prices low for decades and made the Mk3 the cheap way into a Volkswagen build. Good ones are getting harder to find as a result, because so many were used up.
Practical
Mk3s rust round the floors, the arches and the scuttle. Get the carpet up and look properly before you spend.
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 [MK3 Chassis] (1993-1998). 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.
