For enthusiasts of the iconic 1993 Toyota Supra, enhancing its performance and aesthetics is a constant pursuit. One significant upgrade that combines both is replacing the factory seats with aftermarket options. Whether you’re aiming for improved comfort for daily driving or enhanced support for spirited track days, aftermarket seats can dramatically transform your Supra’s interior and driving experience. However, installing these new seats requires the right mounting solution, and that’s where Planted Seat Brackets come into play.
Planted Seat Brackets are engineered as vehicle-specific adapters, designed to bridge the gap between your 1993 Toyota Supra’s floor and the base of aftermarket seats and their accessories. Because vehicle floors, including the Supra’s, are not uniformly flat, a dedicated seat bracket is essential for a secure and proper installation. Planted Technology takes a meticulous approach to design, actually using the vehicle itself as a reference in their development center to ensure the best possible fit for their bolt-in, universal seat brackets. For detailed guidance on installing Planted Seat Brackets and understanding any additional components you might need, you can consult their comprehensive installation instructions and Frequently Asked Questions.
Versatile Bolt Pattern Options for Your Supra Seats
Each Planted Seat Bracket is thoughtfully pre-slotted with a variety of hole patterns. This design ensures compatibility with sliders from leading seat manufacturers popular among Toyota Supra owners and car enthusiasts, including Braum, Bride*, Cipher Auto, Cobra**, Corbeau, Momo, NRG, OMP, Racetech, Recaro, Sabelt, Scheel-Mann***, Sparco, Status Racing, Takata, and many others. This versatility is crucial when selecting aftermarket seats for your 1993 Supra, as it broadens your options and simplifies the installation process. Furthermore, Planted Seat Brackets provide extra space for drilling custom hole patterns. This is particularly useful if you are using sliders with a less common pattern or if you prefer direct mounting your seats or side mounts, eliminating sliders altogether for a fixed position setup in your Toyota Supra.
Two Bolt Pattern Choices Tailored to Your Needs:
When choosing Planted Seat Brackets for your 1993 Toyota Supra, you have two bolt pattern options to consider, ensuring compatibility with your chosen seat sliders:
*Standard**: This option is designed to accommodate the Recaro slider bolt pattern, a popular choice for performance seats often favored in Toyota Supra upgrades. However, it does not include the Cobra & Scheel-Mann slider bolt pattern.*
*Alternate**: This option substitutes the Recaro slider bolt pattern with the Cobra & Scheel-Mann slider bolt pattern. This is beneficial if you plan to use Cobra or Scheel-Mann sliders with your aftermarket seats in your 1993 Supra.*
*It’s important to note that Bride sliders, while popular, are generally designed to be vehicle-specific. For universal application in your Toyota Supra, the “feet” may need to be removed. Bride sliders often require drilling a new hole pattern into the Planted Seat Bracket due to their varied widths, so precise measurement and planning are recommended for your 1993 Supra installation.
**Cobra sliders are available in Narrow and Wide versions. If you are using the Wide version with the “standard bolt pattern” option on your Planted Seat Bracket for your Toyota Supra, you will need to choose the “Alternate Bolt Pattern” or slightly elongate one hole on each slider by 1/8 Inch for proper fitting. The Narrow version slider, however, requires no modification, simplifying the installation in your 1993 Supra.
***Scheel-Mann sliders, similar to Cobra wide sliders, require the “Alternate Bolt Pattern” option for direct compatibility. Alternatively, if you opt for the “standard bolt pattern” for your Toyota Supra, elongating one hole on each Scheel-Mann slider by 1/8 Inch will be necessary.
Strength and Security for Your Toyota Supra Upgrade
Planted Seat Brackets are engineered for durability and safety, crucial for any vehicle modification, especially in a performance car like the Toyota Supra 1993. Constructed from robust 3/16 inch thick steel and laser cut for precision, these brackets are hand-welded to guarantee deep weld penetration and superior strength. This robust construction ensures that your aftermarket seats are securely mounted in your Toyota Supra, providing peace of mind whether you’re cruising the streets or pushing your Supra on the track. Each bracket is finished with a black powder coat, offering both a sleek aesthetic and added protection against corrosion, ensuring longevity and maintaining a clean look in your 1993 Supra’s interior.

Important Considerations Before Installation in Your 1993 Supra
Before proceeding with your aftermarket seat installation in your 1993 Toyota Supra, it’s crucial to consider these disclaimers:
- Seat Compatibility: Aftermarket seats come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. It’s essential to confirm that the seat you choose will physically fit within the confines of your Toyota Supra’s cabin before ordering the Seat Bracket and other related components. Careful measurement and research are advised.
- Steering Wheel Offset: Many vehicles, including the 1993 Toyota Supra, have a steering wheel that is slightly offset towards the vehicle’s center. Installing an aftermarket seat with different dimensions than the factory seat can potentially accentuate this offset. Be aware of this potential change in driving position.
- Warning Indicators: Replacing the factory seats in your 1993 Toyota Supra with aftermarket seats may trigger the vehicle’s warning indicators. This is often due to the removal of airbag, weight, or other sensors integrated into the original factory seat. While electronic resistors might be a solution to bypass these indicators, it is the responsibility of the end user to determine if a resistor will work and to select the correct resistor for their specific 1993 Supra model and seat configuration.
- Professional Installation: For optimal safety and proper functionality, professional installation of aftermarket seats and Planted Seat Brackets in your 1993 Toyota Supra is highly recommended.
- Disclaimer Acknowledgment: By purchasing Planted Seat Brackets, you acknowledge that you have read and understood these disclaimers as well as the general Disclaimer page on their website.
