Sparco Vehicle Specific Tailored Seat Subframes are designed to bolt directly into specific vehicl...Sparco Vehicle Specific Tailored Seat Subframes are designed to bolt directly into specific vehicles without any modification. They can be used with Sparco seat slides or, in some cases, with the original slides. The Sparco seat then easily bolts to the slides for a quick and hassle-free installation. Please check specific fitment notes for required slides or other accessories. Bolt Pattern (Centre to centre): Width: 345mm, Depth (front to back): 270mm. We recommend using Sparco seats with Sparco subframes. Using with non-Sparco seats may require further modifications or adaptation.

FAQs
Is this subframe compatible with all Sparco seats?
While designed for Sparco seats, compatibility is primarily ensured when paired with Sparco seat slides. Ensure your specific Sparco seat's mounting dimensions align with the slides used.
Do I need to buy seat slides separately?
Yes, the subframe provides the mounting points for seat slides. Sparco strongly recommends using their own seat slides for optimal fit and performance, but these are typically sold separately. Check the product description for any included accessories.
What is the bolt pattern size?
The bolt pattern for attaching seat slides to the subframe is 345mm in width (center to center) and 270mm in depth (front to back).
Can I use this with my original car seats?
In some cases, the Sparco subframe can be used with the original vehicle slides. However, this is vehicle-dependent and not guaranteed. It is primarily designed for aftermarket seat installations.
What makes this 'vehicle-specific'?
It means the subframe has been engineered with dimensions and mounting points that directly match the floor pan and bolt locations of particular car models, eliminating the need for drilling or cutting.
How does this subframe improve performance?
By providing a secure, vibration-resistant mounting point for aftermarket seats, it ensures the seat remains stable during aggressive driving, offering better driver control and feedback. It also allows for optimal seat positioning.
What is the difference between 00499038DX and other Sparco subframe part numbers?
Each part number is typically designed for a different vehicle make/model or specific side (left/right). The '00499038DX' is specific to certain vehicles and is likely for the right-hand side, indicated by 'DX'.
Troubleshooting
Subframe does not align with vehicle mounting points.
Confirm that the subframe is the correct model for your specific vehicle. Cross-reference the MPN and series with vehicle fitment guides.
Seat slides do not attach correctly to the subframe.
Ensure you are using compatible seat slides (Sparco slides are recommended). Verify that the slide bolt pattern matches the subframe's specifications (Width: 345mm, Depth: 270mm).
Difficulty mounting a non-Sparco seat.
Non-Sparco seats may require custom brackets or modifications to align with the slides. Contact Sparco customer support or a professional automotive workshop for solutions.
Loose or rattling components after installation.
Double-check that all bolts, including those securing the subframe to the vehicle and the seat to the slides, are properly tightened according to torque specifications if available.
