A Planted Technology seat bracket for the VW Golf Mk3. Part number SB026-4879.
Within the SB026 family alongside the Jetta Mk3 under SB026-4878. Three listings on one design, so send us the registration and we will tell you which one your car takes.
The VR6 and the GTI
The Mk3 is the generation people are least sentimental about, sitting between the beloved Mk2 and the well built Mk4. That has kept prices low, which makes it the cheap way into a Volkswagen build.
The VR6 is the one worth having. A narrow angle six in a front wheel drive hatchback was an odd decision and it makes the car nose heavy, which shows up in a corner and is exactly when a seat that holds you earns its keep.
Practical
Mk3s rust round the floors, the arches and the scuttle. Get the carpet up and look properly before you spend anything.
Handed, so order twice for a pair. Ask us about lighter shells if you are building one seriously.
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 MK3. 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.
