Corbeau Forza Racing Seat Video Transcript:

Welcome to CyberAuto TV! Today we’re going to take a look at the Corbeau Forza Racing Seat, one of the very most popular racing seats we sell on Racing-Seats-USA.Com! The Forza is a fixed-back racing seat with bolsters for lateral support in the thigh, kidney, and shoulder regions. It features a strong, light-weight, powder-coated steel tube frame inside and Corbeau’s bottom-mounting system underneath meaning you can use one of the Corbeau Custom-Mount seat brackets available on Racing-Seats-USA.Com to bolt this seat directly into virtually any year, make, and model vehicle built in the last 30 years.

The Corbeau Forza works in a broad range of applications. It is ideal on the street if the ability to recline is not a necessity. It is a great entry-level racing seat, weighing only 19 pounds and is popular for offroad vehicles too. The Forza is perfect for gamers, who will find that this seat adds a new level of realism to racing simulations.

The Corbeau Forza is available in black cloth, as seen here and also in red or blue cloth, black microsuede, or black vinyl. All come with the high-wear patches you see here. It suits drivers up to about 36” in waist size or a wide version is also available for drivers up to about 42” in waist size. Be sure to check the dimensions of the Corbeau Forza on Racing-Seats-USA.Com to make sure that it will fit into your vehicle.

Corbeau FX1 Racing Seat Video Transcript:

Hey, Welcome to another episode of CyberAuto TV! Today we’re going to take a look at the Corbeau FX1 racing seat, one of the most cost-effective track-ready racing seats available today. This lightweight, fixed-back composite racing seat weighs in at only 19 pounds and has accomodations for both sidemount and bottom mount brackets. The FX1 features harness slots for 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-point harnesses and comes in three sizes. The standard FX1 suits drivers up to about 38 inches in waist size. The smaller FX1 Pro is designed for especially small cockpits and accommodates drivers up to about 36 inches in waist size.

For larger car and driver combinations, a wide version is available that will work with drivers up to about 42 inches in waist size. As always, you can find the dimensions of the FX1 on Racing-Seats-USA.Com so you can confirm its suitability in your vehicle.

The seat you see here is an FX1 Pro in black cloth. The Pro version is also available with a red or blue center insert as well as the high-grip black microsuede material. The standard FX1 is available in black or red and the wide version in black only.

Making the choice between installation with sidemount and bottom-mount brackets is pretty easy. Sidemount brackets are best for pure racing applications where a single driver can securely set the seat position.

For multiple drivers or where the ability to move the seat back and forward is required a bottom-mount bracket is the better choice. And if you’re into racing simulations consider getting the FX1 with the optional gaming base to give you a realistic racing experience. Sidemount brackets, bottom-mount seat brackets, and gaming bases are all available at Racing-Seats-USA.Com.

Corbeau LG1 Racing Seat Video Transcript:

Welcome to CyberAuto TV! Today we’re going to take a look at the Corbeau LG1 Racing Seat, a high-end touring car seat. The LG1 is a great seat for individuals who want show car looks but are not willing to sacrifice performance. The LG1 provides a relatively broad seating platform in what is overall a relatively narrow seat. It may be a bit wide for the smallest sports cars but the standard-width LG1 is narrow enough to fit the C5 Corvette with some accommodations. Be sure to compare the space in your vehicle to the dimensions shown on Racing-Seats-USA.Com to ensure the LG1 will fit in your car. The standard-width version of the LG1 will suit drivers up to about 38 inches in waist size and there is a wide version that is appropriate for drivers up to about 42 inches in waist size.

The LG1 is a reclining seat with a tough steel tube-frame interior comfortable padding, and moderate side bolstering. It is super-comfortable and not as difficult to get into and out of as seats with taller side bolstering in the thigh region. Still, customers find this seat to provide adequate support for sporty street driving and light track work. Take a look at the reviews provided on Racing-Seats-USA.Com to see what buyers think of this seat.

Because this seat is primarily used on the street it features harness slots for 3- and 4-point harnesses. When ordering, it is also possible to have the slot added for an anti-submarine belt. If you’re in a cold climate you should consider the optional seat heaters that Corbeau offers and the optional lumbar support is never a bad idea if you expect to find yourself spending longer periods in this seat.

The Corbeau LG1 is available in broad range of colors and materials. The one you see here is finished in black cloth with a black center but it is also available with a blue or red cloth center. If you’re looking for an especially nice seat consider ordering your LG1 in either microsuede or genuine leather to add an exceptional look to your vehicle. You can browse all of the color combinations and ordering options of the Corbeau LG1 on Racing-Seats-USA.Com.

The LG1 features Corbeau’s bottom-mounting system which means you can use one of the hundreds of Vehicle-specific brackets to make the LG1 a direct bolt-in on your car, truck, or SUV.

Video: Comparing Corbeau Single- and Double-Locking Sliders

Comparing Corbeau Sliders Video Transcript:

Welcome to CyberAuto TV! Some of you have asked us to do an episode on The differences between the single- And double-locking Corbeau brackets. Well, here is that episode! This Corbeau Custom Bracket will allow you To bolt any Corbeau bottom-mount seat Directly into a 78-98 Ford Mustang. Like any Corbeau custom bracket It comes standard with the single-locking slider you see here. You can recognize this as a single-locker Because this side slides freely, While you have to use this lever to move the other side. Once the seat is mounted, these will obviously slide together But will only be locked in place by the one side.

Here we have the components to turn a Corbeau custom-mount bracket into double-locking version. You can see the locking mechanisms on both of these sliders And it requires this U-shaped bracket To unlock them simultaneously So that the seat can be slid from front to rear.

If you have a Corbeau Custom Bracket With single-locking sliders It is possible to buy just these components at Racing-Seats-USA.Com And convert your bracket to a double locker. Simply remove the four Grade-5 Fasteners Using a 7/16” ratchet and combination wrench Swap the sliders, install the unlocking handle And you’re done! Of course, it is much easier And far more cost effective To simply order your Corbeau Custom Bracket With the optional Double-Locking Sliders As you see here. Besides saving you a bit of work The cost of the upgrade is less than half The cost of the double-locking components if purchased separately.

Personally, I have never heard of a case Where a Corbeau single-locking slider Failed to lock the seat in place when correctly engaged. However, if you are using your Corbeau Seat For sanctioned racing or aggressive offroad driving The small cost of upgrading is worth The confidence gained at the race track, rock climbing event, or whatever your venue of choice might be. I hope this has been helpful!

Video: Racing Seat Sizing and Fitment

This video was produced using our earlier website design. We hope to re-shoot this video soon with the newer website, but all of the information here is still just as useful as ever.

Racing Seat Sizing and Fitment Video Transcript:

One of the frequently asked questions here at Racing Seats USA is whether or not a seat will fit in a particular vehicle. While we do know the fitment details of a few of the more common vehicles we may not know your particular vehicles fitment details. In our Corbeau product line alone, there are over 1000 vehicle applications available. In order to assist our customers with fitment we provide seat dimensions on all of our seat product pages.

Let’s take a look at an example. Let’s say we owned a Chevy Corvette and want to know whether or not the Corbeau A4 will fit. We first navigate the the Corbeau A4 product page. On the Corbeau A4 product page we’ll want to click on the word “Dimensions” just to the right of the descriptions tab. Here we can see seat dimensions provided for all the available seat models. We would then want to compare these dimensions against our stock seats. Since the Corbeau A4 is 19.5 inches wide at the base we would want to make sure that nineteen and a half is smaller or the same size as their stock seat. We would then repeat this dimensions comparison for the widest point. On the A4 the widest point is the 21.5 inches at the shoulders. Don’t forget to check the seat’s overall height and depth. This should provide you with a very accurate fitment.

It’s important to remember that Corbeau seat brackets are designed to mimic original seat height. As with all seats, please keep in mind that your overall riding height will be within a one-inch range. That’s one inch higher, or lower, than stock height. As always, feel free to contact us via our contact page, live chat or toll-free phone number at 1-800-880-0960. Thank you.

Video: Corbeau Baja XRS Racing Seat

Corbeau Baja XRS Racing Seat Transcript:

Welcome to CyberAuto TV! In this episode we’re going to take a look at this beautiful Corbeau Baja XRS Racing Seat and learn what makes this seat so incredibly popular both on the street and offroad.

Let’s jump right into things by taking a closer look underneath the XRS. To start with, the XRS is a suspension seat. The frame of the seat is heavy-duty steel tubing, and the occupant is literally suspended inside the seat by the military-grade suspension cords you see here. If that sounds comfortable, just wait until you sit in this seat. And take a look at the multiple mounting holes. The XRS includes mounting points for Corbeau’s custom-mount brackets. Adding these to your order allows you to bolt the XRS into virtually any year-make-or-model vehicle built in the last 50 years.

But since this seat is popular in the offroad market, Corbeau decided to increase the value for Jeep owners. These other holes allow you to bolt the XRS directly to the stock brackets in most CJ7’s and all YJ’s without the need for a bracket or adapter of any kind. The XRS also features this convenient map pouch in the seat back, which can help avoid unmanly direction-asking by those who have not yet acquired a GPS.

Suspension seats are not new for Corbeau. They have long dominated the suspension seat market with their popular Baja family of seats. The difference with the Baja XRS is that it is a reclining suspension seat. This means you get all of the benefit of suspension seating and still can select your seat back position from roughly 90 to almost 180 degrees.

The Corbeau Baja XRS is available in Black Vinyl with a Black Cloth Center as you see here, or in all Black Vinyl. Like most other Corbeau seats, it can be special-ordered in your choice of colors and materials, including leather, for an additional charge. Seat heaters, adjustable lumbar, and even anti-submarine harness slots are all available on the XRS as well. Visit Racing-Seats-USA.Com to learn more.

Regardless of your intended application, be sure to download the Baja XRS seat dimensions on Racing-Seats-USA.Com and compare them to the available space in your vehicle to ensure that they will fit. Remember that suspension seats will sit taller than your worn out stock seat, so consider both personal head-room as well as leg-room under the steering wheel.

If you’re not sure the Baja XRS is the right suspension seat for you, look at the other seats in Corbeau’s Baja line on Racing-Seats-USA such as the SS, JP, or RS. Or, if you don’t require a suspension seat, a seat like the Corbeau A4 or CR1 may be more to your liking.

Video: Corbeau Baja SS Racing Seat

Corbeau Baja SS Racing Seat Video Transcript:

Welcome to CyberAuto TV! In this video we’re going to do a bit of a classic rewind as we take a look at the Corbeau Baja SS. This seat is no rookie, but the perfect balance of great price, incredible comfort, and classic looks makes it continue to be a best seller year after year.

One noteworthy feature of the Baja SS is that the cover is easily removeable. Besides allowing you to easily and inexpensively restore this seat’s factory freshness years down the road, it also allows us to see how the Baja is put together. Let’s take a look.

Flipping the seat over and loosening the cover, we see that the seat is built on a solid steel tube frame overlaid with an intricate nylon suspension system, sort of like a hammock. On top of that is durable foam padding, not only on the inside but also on the outside of the tube frame to help protect the cover. Also visible are the slots for the harness belts, including the anti-submarine harness slot. Obviously, this seat is built for business. Plus it is super light—all of this comfort and protection only weighs 15 pounds.

One of the biggest differences between the Baja SS and the rest of the Corbeau line are the seat mounts. This seat was designed to allow the SS to be mounted to a sand rail or other home-built with a minimum of effort. But if that’s not your goal, don’t worry. Corbeau sells an adapter that lets you bolt one of their vehicle- specific seat brackets directly to the SS. Corbeau took special consideration of Jeep owners by designing inexpensive adapters that allow the SS to be bolted directly to the factory bracket in the CJ, YJ, and TJ. To see more pictures of Corbeau Seats in Jeeps visit Racing-Seats-USA.Com.

Back up on top you can better see the classic styling that has made the SS popular in virtually every application. You can find these in offroad vehicles, classic muscle cars, boats, and RVs and even mounted to gaming bases in living rooms. The possibilities are endless. This seat will suit drivers up to about 36 inches in waist size, but the Baja Ultra Wide will fit drivers up to 44 inches.

Remember that fitting the driver is only half of the task. Go to Racing-Seats-USA.Com where you can download the seat dimensions to ensure that the seat will fit in your intended application. There you can see the other available options, including seat heaters and adjustable lumbar support.
