Two Corbeau Pro Series X System 1 XL FIA bucket seats in black, 1260 for the pair. Fibreglass, fixed back, side mount, fabric, six point harness compatible, FIA 8855-1999, driver under six feet, 36 to 40 inch waist.
Pro Series against Sprint
The Pro Series X is a step up in shell shape from the Sprint X, with more support through the sides, still without lateral head support. The Sprint X XL pair is 1190; this is 1260. Seventy pounds for two seats is not the reason to choose one over the other. Sit in both if you can get to us.
Pair pricing
The single XL in black is 635, so the pair is ten pounds under two singles. Same shells, same trim, one order.
XL and the six foot note
The wide shell, 36 to 40 inch waist; the standard width pair is 1210. Under six feet refers to shell height and shoulder position against the wings, so a tall driver in the wide shell should still try one first.
Harnesses and mounting
Takes a six point harness. Side mount, so side mounts and vehicle-specific frames are separate. FIA 8855-1999, expiry on each seat’s label. Tell us the car.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Which Is Right For You? Corbeau Pro Series VS Pro Series XL, and Driver Profile: Corbeau Pro Series VS Pro Series XL. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will I fit in this seat?
The maker sizes this seat for drivers under 6ft in height with a 36in to 40in waist. Those are the paper numbers; how a seat actually feels to sit in and climb out of is a different question, and our showroom team sit in these seats every day, so call us with your height and waist and we will give you the honest answer.
Is it FIA approved, and for how long?
Yes, it carries FIA 8855-1999 homologation. Every FIA seat has a not-valid-after year printed on its homologation label, and that label date is what a scrutineer checks, so look at the label on the seat you receive and check it against your championship regulations. Buying new means you get the freshest label the maker currently produces.
What do I need to fit it to my car?
This is a side-mount seat: it hangs between side brackets, the motorsport-style stack with fine height and angle control. You will need the car-specific frame, and a sliding runner if you want fore-and-aft adjustment. Our guide on base mount versus side mount walks through the whole stack, and tell us your car and we will quote the full kit.
Does it work with harnesses and a HANS device?
The shell takes 6 point compatible. If you are planning the full seat, harness, and HANS setup, tell us the car and we will spec it end to end.
How do I know it will feel right, not just fit on paper?
Fair question, because makers publish widths and weights, never feel, and two seats with identical numbers can feel nothing alike in the car. We keep the ranges on display in the Nottingham showroom, you are welcome to come and sit in them, and if you cannot get to us, call and describe your build, as the team sit in these seats every day. Our head support measurements guide shows the kind of real-world data we collect.
