A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Golf Mk2. Part number SB028-4875.
The suffix places it in the SB028 family, shared with the Mk2 Jetta. The two cars are the same floorpan with a different back end, which is why one design covers both.
Values have moved a long way
A good Mk2 GTI or 16v is worth real money now, and original interiors are a large part of that. If the car has Recaro seats, they are worth money on their own and worth storing properly rather than letting them go with the car.
This 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, and thirty five year old ones that have been used deserve a serious look with the carpet up. Look at the metal round all four mounting points and at the seams. A bracket can only feed seat load into sound structure.
Practical
A Mk2 is light and upright inside with decent headroom, so shell choice is less constrained than in a modern hatchback.
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 MK2. 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.
