VW Golf Mk6 seat guide

VW Golf mk6 Seat Guide

The VW Golf mk6 (08-12)...

The VW Golf MK6 is a stunning evolution of an iconic hot hatch. Each and every VW Golf has been popular in the tuning community and the Mk6 is no exception. Once you start using your VW Golf mk6 for fast road and track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support. 

On cornering, you may find your self holding onto the steering wheel tighter than usual, tensing your thighs and legs against the central console and/or door card. You’ll probably find your weight shifting in the seat and having to re-position your self after the corner. 

None of this is correct. Your seat should provide the right level of support so that you can grip the steering wheel only for steering, your legs should be supported and your weight shouldn’t shift around. The recommendations we provide are to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported allowing you to focus on the job at hand. 

We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our VW Golf mk6 guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.

Recommended brackets: (Bucket seats)
We recommend using the M2 all in one fitting kit to install a range of bucket seats. Alternatively you can use the Planted Technology bracket and side mounts.
