The Corbeau RXC X System 1, 575. The fibreglass RXC in standard width, the most affordable way into the RXC X, FIA 8855-1999, side mount, fabric trimmed, 32 to 36 inch waist, driver under six feet.
Where 575 sits
The RXC X comes in three shells. This fibreglass System 1 is 575, the Kevlar System 3 is 675 and the carbon System 5 is 775. Each step buys a lighter and stiffer shell of the same shape. If you are not chasing weight, this one holds you exactly as well.
Same seat in tartan is 805 if the trim matters to you.
Fit first
Standard width, 32 to 36 inch waist. The XL at 600 is 36 to 40. Both are listed for drivers under 6ft, a shell height note rather than a legroom one. Sit in one if you are near either limit.
Built to your order
Black, or blue, grey, orange, purple, red, white, yellow, or a RAL code you give us. Name embroidery and inflatable lumbar support are optional. Coloured shells are made against the order.
The rest
Side mount, so it hangs between side mounts on a vehicle frame. FIA 8855-1999, expiry on the label, normally five years from manufacture and extendable by two. Seat only.
Tell us the car and we will list what completes it.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Corbeau RXC Bucket Seats Now Live. 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 32in to 36in 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.
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.
