These seat brackets were exactly what I needed and the quality exceeded my expectations. But more importantly, the Planted Technologies customer service is excellent. I made an error when ordering what I needed, and before they shipped my order, they caught the error and contacted me to verify what I actually needed.
Fitment on chassis holes are not good and require modification

Can confirm success installing both Sparco R100 and Braum Elite-S Sport seats into my 23 WRX using these bases. I used grade 8 1/2" hardware for the seatbelt buckle and Sparco's install hardware to mount the sliders to the base. The seatbelt buckle wire seems to have a clip that grounds to the base, and I forced it to spread onto the thicker Planted base. Might be beneficial for future revisions of the Planted base to include a dedicated spot for this ground clip.

I was a little apprehensive of the cost of the brackets at first but upon unboxing and installing I’d buy them again in a heartbeat. Thick and built like a tank. Bolted right up to my Recaro Expert M’s and then to my floor. Thanks for a great product!
The bolt slots were not wide/diverse enough even for a Recaro seat. There is also not enough space between the riser and the car floor mount with requires short bolts or cutting existing bolts. If the same increase in height is applicable I would recommend going with the entire seat bracket riser vs these.
Hi Terence,
Sorry to hear you weren't completely happy with your seat spacers. We'd love to see some images of your setup so we can further understand the issues you had. Please send them to sales@plantedtechnology.com.
For clarification, these seat spacers are designed to work with and have been tested with Recaro seats many times. The spacers are designed to run from front to back (not side to side) and can be mounted between the Planted seat bracket and the Recaro sliders, or between the Planted seat bracket and the Recaro seat (if sliders are not being utilized). Our spacers are not designed to mount directly to the floor in the vehicle. That's what the Planted seat brackets are for.
We recommend using our Seat Hardware Kit with these spacers. Here's a link for your reference: https://www.plantedtechnology.com/products/planted-seat-hardware-kit?_pos=1&_psq=shk&_ss=e&_v=1.0
We appreciate you sharing your review, but we want to fully understand the issues you had, so please do share some images and more details with us.
Thank you!
Well made product but positioned the seat too high for my application. Even with the sliders removed I don’t fit in the car with my helmet on
Wish I found the brey Krause mounts before buying these
Hi Brian,
We're glad to hear you liked the quality of our seat bracket, but we're sorry to hear it positioned your seat too high. At 1.5 inches tall, this seat bracket is as low as we could make it while keeping our versatile universal design, because we needed to leave room under the seat bracket for mounting hardware.
I beleive the Brey Krause mounts you are referring to our their 'Direct To Floor Mounts' that will only work with side mounted seats and must be ordered in specific widths to match the width of the seat being installed. These may provide a lower seating positon but won't allow for installing bottom mounted, reclinable seats, and may not work with certain side mounted seats due to the specific width and side mount bolt pattern.
We appreciate that in some cases a very specific mount like the Brey Krause may be preferred over our more versatile universal design, and we appreciate your feedback.
If you'd like to return your seat bracket we'll be happy to accept a return in accordance with our return policy found here: https://www.plantedtechnology.com/policies/refund-policy
If you have any questions please let us know.
Thank you,
These bolted right up with no modifications needed. I really appreciate quality workmanship for products like these. They were well constructed, solid, and lined up perfectly. I would buy these again in a heartbeat for matching up with my Recaro Specialist seats and Recaro sliders.

I was going to make custom brackets for my seats, I didn’t expect that something was available, and of great quality.

Good quality over all but one of the tabs wasn’t welded on straight. Didn’t cause enough of an issue to return the item.
Well worth the money especially compared to competitors options. These brackets are very strong and solid. They bolted right up and I tried to shake them to see how strong they were and they didn’t budge. Bolted right up to my fixed back seat. Love the fact that it has the seatbelt buckle mounting point. Very high quality. Professional welds. I have no doubt in my mind about these. It may be more than the cheap eBay brackets but trust me it is well worth it and will keep you safe.
I bought both the driver and passenger brackets for my RSX. The fitment is perfect. My specific brackets make one bolt had a pain to install, but it’s not fault to the bracket. The design of these accommodates oem Recaro sliders (and several others), and to make the seats sit as low as possible, one bolt is hard to tighten as it sits under the surface area of the bracket itself.
These are much sturdier than the PCI brackets they replaced and have more adjustability. If you have replacing your factory seats in your RSX, choose these, you will not be dissapoinyrd.
The bracket hardly fits, only three holes lined up and we had to grind the fourth hole to make it fit
Sorry to hear you had issues with the fitment of this bracket! We'd love to learn more about the issues you had so we can look into it. Would you be able to send us some images of what didn't fit and what you had to modify?
Would you also be able to send us an image of the car's VIN so we can document the issue as well? We'll look forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you!
Only company that makes these for 1999 Benz SLK230, has both seatbelt brackets for install. All other only have 1. Great Brackets
Fit in my Saab like it said it would.

Works perfectly, and quick arriving very pleased. I would use these in any application.
Relatively reasonable shipping time and cost. VERY high quality product!
Here's what I learned though; the car (and this bracket) are configured with three of the four threaded holes (to mount it to the floor) flat, the fourth is at 90 degrees to the floor, that's the rear inboard one-it mounts to the floor hump (it looks sort of like a transmission and driveshaft hump that runs down the middle of "old timey" front engine, rear wheel drive cars like your Dad drove)...
Installation is quick and easy, just hand tighten the three flat floor mounted bolts about halfway first, then insert and hand tighten the 90 degree one. Then tighten them tight with a wrench like you would when reinstalling a tire. Quite happy with my purchase!

Ended up not needing them for the job but it's like my Dad would say, "it's better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it"!
The rails do fit, but they seem they ride a little too high. The traditional Gtr rails are low profile. A low profile option would be great.
Hi Chris,
We're glad the seat brackets fit but we're sorry to hear they were taller than you would have liked! We'd actually like to make these seat brackets lower but unfortunately we are limited by the position of the rear inbaord mounting point. Nissan positioned that mounting point in the trans tunnel rather than in the floor. We had to design these seat brackets with the top surface of the bracket above that mounting point to allow for access to the mounting point for installing the mounting bolt. If we made the brackets lower, that mounting point could not be accessed. We made that mounting point as low as we could and then made the rest of the seat bracket level from there.
There are a couple of ways you could attain a lower seating postion:
1) You could remove your sliders and fix mount your seats. This would lower the seats by about an inch. However, you wouldn't be able to adjust the seat forward and backward.
2) You could consider installing a low profile fiberglass shell style seat, rather than a reclinable seat. Aftermarket reclinable seats generally have much thicker bottom cushions when compared to a fixed seat. Installing a low profile fixed seat could lower the seating postition.
We hope you find these options helpful!
We do appreciate you sharing your review and if you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Was looking for a seat bracket for g37 to lower seating position & there's really no real options. Planted is the only company to make a bracket technically, but they don't offer a lower style mount like they do for the z or g35.
The mounts are thick & are a direct bolt in but feel like they could've at least moved the main plate back some for taller drivers, I'm 6'3". When I mocked up the seat my helmet was still touching the roof so unfortunately not the solution I was looking for but if you need a bracket planted will do

Hi Paul,
Sorry to hear our seat bracket wasn't as low or far back as you'd like! Unfortunatley the floor in the G37 prevented us from making the bracket lower. The inboard side of the seat bracket is as low as it can be given the contours in the floor of the G37. The rest of the seat bracket is level from there. The only way we could have made is lower would have been to shift the whole seat bracket a couple inches toward the door, but that would put the seat very off-center of the steering wheel and put the driver in a very akward driving postion.
We could have made the seat bracket further back but then it wouldn't work for shorter drivers. We do our best to position each seat bracket so it'll work well for most drivers.
We may be able to make you a custom seat bracket with the top surface shifted further back and exchange it for the one you have. If you are interested please let us know.
Thank you,
I needed a specific seat base my floors were modified by the previous owner to accommodate 2004 Pontiac GTO seats. I ordered the Planted technology bracket perfect fit!
You will have to enlarge the hole on the rear of the bracket
Jeff and the team are awesome. This product works well with their side mount rail solution. Extremely happy with the product and the service of their whole team.
