Audi S3 Build with Corbeau RRB Reclining Sport Seats
We always love seeing how our customers transform their builds, and this Audi S3 is no exception. This particular project takes the S3’s clean, sporty interior and elevates it to a whole new level of style and support with a pair of Corbeau RRB Reclining Sports Seats, which we proudly supplied.
The RRBs perfectly complement the modern aesthetics of the Audi S3 while delivering a deep, supportive bucketed feel, making the car as comfortable for spirited drives as it is on daily commutes. With aggressive bolstering, premium materials, and modern trim details, this seat upgrade blends form and function seamlessly—proof that road cars can look track-ready without compromising on comfort.
Corbeau RRB Reclining Sports Seats – Sport Meets Practicality
The Corbeau RRB is one of the most popular seats in our showroom—and it’s easy to see why. Designed with track-inspired bolstering and everyday practicality, the RRB is a premium reclining sports seat that feels as good as it looks.
Key Features:
- Deep, high-sided leg support and pronounced shoulder bolsters
- A mix of soft-touch black fabric and carbon-effect vinyl
- Reclining mechanism with adjustable backrest for comfort
- Striking carbon vinyl backing for a clean, modern look
- Not FIA-approved, but perfect for road cars and casual track days
These seats give the feel of a fixed-back bucket, but with the comfort and adjustability needed for road use. They’re the ideal choice for drivers who want aggressive seat support without compromising practicality.
Available In-Store for Viewing & Testing
One of the best ways to choose the right seat is to see and feel it in person—and that’s exactly what you can do with the Corbeau RRB here at GSM Performance. We proudly stock and display this seat in our showroom, so whether you’re looking to assess fitment, comfort, or just see how the materials look and feel, you can try it out before making your decision.
Customers visiting us often appreciate being able to sit in the RRB and get a real sense of the side support and leg bolstering, which can’t always be judged through photos. You can compare it directly with other Corbeau recliners or even fixed-back bucket seats to see how the RRB fits your driving style and interior space.
We also offer an upgraded heated version, ideal for those using their vehicle year-round. The heated option keeps the same aggressive styling and support but adds a layer of comfort for colder climates—making it a fantastic upgrade for daily-driven cars or winter builds.
RRB Seat Dimensions – Will It Fit?
One of the standout features of the Corbeau RRB is its cleverly compact design. With a narrow seat profile from shoulder to base, the RRB fits neatly into tighter interiors like the Audi S3, leaving plenty of clearance around door cards and the centre console.
Key Dimensions:
- Shoulder Width: 540mm
- Base Width: 470mm
- Height: 930mm
- Mounting Bolt Pattern: 345mm wide (compatible with most recliner subframes)
This seat is suitable for drivers with a 30-34 inch waist. Thanks to its efficient layout, the RRB is also a great fit for vehicles like the BMW 1 Series, Golf GTI, and even smaller coupes like the Toyota GT86.
Why Choose Corbeau for Sports Recliners?
With over 50 years of seat-building heritage, Corbeau has become a leading name in sports and motorsport seating. Their recliners are engineered with comfort, support, and visual appeal in mind—perfect for drivers who want performance without going full race-spec.Â
Corbeau seats are known for:
- Excellent UK build quality
- Reliable, comfortable bolstering
- Compatibility with aftermarket subframes and sliders
- Aesthetic trim combinations that match modern interiors
From road to show, Corbeau seats enhance your driving experience while elevating your cabin aesthetics.
Top Corbeau Recliners – How the RRB Stands Out
We stock a wide range of Corbeau recliners that share similar styling, materials, and the carbon vinyl backing that defines the Sportline range. However, the RRB stands out for one key reason—it’s the most supportive seat in the lineup.
Compared to other Corbeau recliners like:
- Sportline RRS – More subtle bolstering, comfort-first design
- Sportline SVR – Compact and short design, suitable for smaller cockpits
- Sportline PSR– Great for tight spaces, but less aggressive
…the RRB offers the deepest side bolsters in the Corbeau Reclining seat range, providing bucket seat-level support with the convenience of a recliner.
Installing the Corbeau RRB in the Audi S3
The installation process for the RRB seats is simple when paired with the correct vehicle-specific subframes. The seats use a standard 345mm bolt pattern, compatible with all Corbeau, Sparco, OMP, and Planted Technology subframes and sliding runner kits.
For the Audi S3, we recommend:
- Corbeau direct-fit subframes
- Sparco sliding runners for fore/aft adjustment
- Optional adaptation brackets if working with mixed-brand components
- Our team can help confirm compatibility and recommend a full fitting kit to make your install as smooth as possible.
Final Thoughts – A Perfect Interior Upgrade for Any Modern Car
This Audi S3 build is a fantastic example of how the right seats can completely transform a car’s interior. The Corbeau RRB seats combine road comfort with track-inspired looks and aggressive bolstering, creating an ideal balance for daily driving and spirited weekend use.
Whether you’re upgrading a modern performance hatch, coupe, or saloon, the RRBs offer a refined, motorsport-inspired design that looks just as good as it performs. With premium materials, thoughtful dimensions, and excellent compatibility, these seats are a top choice for any enthusiast build.
