The Planted bracket will not bend or warp with heat whereas other brackets can be bent by hand. Which aftermarket seats work with Planted Seat Brackets and what makes them so easy to use? Planted brackets are more versatile with predrilled slots for sliders from most major aftermarket seat manufacturers like Sparco, Recaro, OMP, Cobra, Racetech, Status, Corbeau, Bride, Momo, etc. There is also extra material for direct mounting when the driver wishes to eliminate sliders altogether.
