Corbeau's enormous inventory of over 20 different fixed-back, reclining and suspension seats all available with different colors, sizes and fabric combinations is at once awe-inspiring and confusing for the average consumer. The sheer volume of potential choices is great in regards to customization, but overwhelming to anyone wondering which seat is best for their particular car or truck. The answer is fairly simple and is directly related to the purpose of your vehicle. In essence, your specific application will be the deciding factor in the type of Corbeau seat that you'll need whether you're a daily driver, semi-professional track driver, high-performance racer or an avid off-road enthusiast.
The reclining versions of Corbeau's seats are by far the most popular type of racing seats ad include the A4 and CR1 models. All of Corbeau's reclining seats have an OE-style mechanical back adjustment levers that allow the rider to change the angle of the seat back to suit their preferred riding style. All of the reclining race seats in the Corbeau inventory feature large bolsters that slope up and down each side of the seat to give lateral support to the rider and hold them firmly in place during high speed cornering and other maneuvers. Corbeau's reclining seats are the golden mean between stock seats and full, fixed-back racing seats in that they provide excellent levels of comfort for daily driving, yet can still perform extremely well in milder race events such as autocross, rallycross or local semi-professional racing events and leagues. The reclining seats have a variety of models that provide several models to appeal to the racing crowd -- like the LG1, TRS or VX2000 -- or to the driver who wants to upgrade their stock seats to something more comfortable and sporty than the factory seats without sacrificing the stock look with something like the GTS II or Sports Seat.
Corbeau's fixed-back seat systems are another matter entirely and include the sleek FX1 and Forza racing seats. This type of racing seat is purpose-built for high performance racing applications, especially drag racing and professional competition racing where high speeds, extreme cars and other drivers require additional safety precautions and performance measures that aren't present in the reclining seats. Nearly all of Corbeau's fixed-back seats come out of the box ready for the track with full built-in provisions for five-point racing harnesses, back braces and aluminum side mounts. Each fixed-back seat has a bucket configuration where the support bolsters completely encapsulate the rider and lock them into perfect riding posture during even the most intense acceleration and high-g turns. While having excellent performance considerations, none of Corbeau's fixed-back seats are particularly comfortable to sit in on the daily commute to work while stuck in stop and go traffic for 40 minutes, nor do they have the padding or design to handle off-road rallying or full romping applications.
To satisfy the off-road crowd, Corbeau has a full line of suspension seats designed to dampen hard impacts and jolts with their unique nylon cord systems integrated into the seat bottom and back that help prevent injury to the rider's spinal column and smooth out the ride over the harshest terrain. The unique design spreads impact energy over the whole seat to mitigate direct transfer to the rider. Corbeau's suspension seats can be fixed-back like their Baja XP or reclining like the Baja RS. The seats are perfect for off-road driving of almost any form whether it's for work, leisure or extreme off-road racing that requires the navigation of hazards that can be devastating to life and limb without the proper equipment.
All of Corbeau's seats come in cloth, microsuede and leather fabrics in a huge variety of colors that allow you to match your vehicle's interior or to make a stylistic statement with a color and fabric scheme of your choosing. Corbeau offers seat that can meet the needs of almost any driver or vehicle on the amateur or semi-professional level. Each type of seat has several models with varying shapes and styles that provide unmatched function while catering to the tastes of any customer or vehicle interior. The seats can fit into almost any vehicle on the market with the purchase of a vehicle-specific seat bracket or through modification of the stock seat mounts.
