Two Corbeau Revolution System 1 FIA bucket seats in black, 1290 for the pair. Fixed back, side mount, with head support, six point harness compatible, FIA 8855-1999, for drivers under six feet.
Head support, as a pair
The Revolution and the Revenge are the two Corbeau FIA shells with lateral head support, and both are 1290 a pair in standard width. The Sprint X and Pro Series X pairs below them do not have it. If your class expects head protection, or you want it, the choice is between these two shapes rather than the price.
Check the waist sizing before ordering
This listing carries a 36 to 40 inch waist, which is the XL sizing; the XL pair at 1330 carries the same. The standard width Revolution as a single is a 32 to 36 inch shell, so one of the two pair listings is mis-sized. Tell us your waist and we will make sure the right shells go in the box rather than trusting the number on the page.
Six point, and a HANS
Six point harness compatible, and the shell is shaped to suit a head and neck restraint. A HANS needs at least a five point harness, so with a six point belt this pair is set up for one.
The rest
System 1 is the fibreglass shell. FIA 8855-1999, expiry on each seat’s label. Side mount, mounts and frames separate. Tell us the car.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Corbeau Revolution Driver fit guide. 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.
