The Pro Series X Vinyl is the weather-resistant version of Corbeau’s Pro Series X, using the System 1 Kevlar/GRP shell wrapped in vinyl trim rather than fabric. Vinyl is the practical choice for off-road, autocross, and any competition where the seat is likely to get wet; the material sheds water and mud where fabric retains it. It is also used in showroom demonstration cars for the same reason.
The Pro Series X sits between the Sprint X and Revolution X in the Corbeau FIA range. The head area is open (no hoop surround), and the seat has an integrated headrest rather than a separate one. An optional inflatable lumbar support is available. Shell weight is 8.0-8.5kg depending on specification. FIA 8855-1999 approval runs five years from purchase date.
Driver height restriction is under 6ft. Waist size is not published for this listing; contact us with your measurements and we will advise on sizing before you order. Fixing is side mount only; M10 12.9 high-tensile mounting bolts are used, as with the other Corbeau FIA seats. Corbeau Pro-Team side mounts or equivalent M10-compatible brackets are required. Six-point harness compatible via five 3in harness slots. HANS zone on the shell for FHR device use. Part number SF204. One seat per order.
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. 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.
