VW Passat B5 Bucket Seat Guide
The VW Passat B5 (97-05)..
Once you start using your VW Passat for fast road or track use, you’ll soon realize just how much you need new bucket seats to provide more support.Â
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.Â
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.Â
We’ve worked closely with our customers to create our VW Passat B5 guide.
The resulting recommendations are based on previous customer car installations.
Recommended brackets:
We recommend using the Recaro fitting kit to install a range of bucket seats. It’s an adaption kit which works with vehicle original sliders and components. For side mounted bucket seats, match the side mounts with the correct seat by using the models stated in the title and product descriptions.
