Recaro’s direct fit sub-frame for the Volkswagen Golf Mk8, 395 per frame, which is per seat.
The car it is for
The Mk8 Golf from 2020, including the GTI and R. The Mk7 frame does not fit; the Mk8 has its own Recaro part number. Recaro’s Mk7 frame also covers the Octavia Mk3 and Leon 5F, but the Mk8 is on its own.
On the factory bolts
The base for a Recaro seat in this car, on the original mounting points, at the height Recaro designed the seat around.
The mounts in between
The frame is the bottom of a three-part stack: frame, Recaro side mounts, seat. The FIA label on a Recaro seat goes with Recaro side mounts, homologated together, and those are sold on their own listing.
Tell us the seat you have chosen and we will list the mounts and runners to go with this frame.
Have you written anything useful for my car?
Yes: Customer Question: How Do I Fit Sparco Sprint Bucket Seats In My VW Golf Mk7, and Customer Spotlight: VW Golf R Drag Race Car. Those are written around the same car, from real fittings and customer questions, so they are worth a look before you decide.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is car-specific, so match the vehicle in the product name to your exact car and generation. If you are unsure, 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 Recaro 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.
