Corbeau Clubsport?

[Danmw]

I'd be tempted by the Pole Positions, just by the fact that they will hold their value 2nd hand if you needed to sell. Where as the Clubsports will be worth naff all :neutral:

Purchased mine in 2015 for £300 brand new, sold them today for £350, so much demand for them!

 

[Christopher]

Clubsport are under £400 for a pair. I doubt there will be much difference in how much you'd lose on them over 2years.

Pretty much. They're spot on for the money and cost £1000 less than the PPs I was looking at.
That spare money gets put back into the car anyway on some other bits. TBC.

Jesus!

They're the best seat for the money. I had no flex in mine when fitted in my cup on Jon foz subframes.

They look very similar to PP without the price tag. Think there's a set in the classifieds now, they're usually on back order from Corbeau.

Love the look of that with the standard belt, what are the seats like getting in and out.? My r26r ones are a pain

Bit of a nack to it, didn't bother me but the mrs had choice words now and then haha.

They're a great seat, I've since sold the car and seats etc and have trendlines in my BG which aren't a patch on the clubsports obviously.
Best £300ish you'll spend IMO

Clubsports are awesome imho. Good quality, light and very comfy. I've done 2 odd hours in one straight and still ok. Here's mine after being retrimmed in my cup:

 

[Ills]

What have you done with the drivers belt buckle? Always thought if you had the belt over the top of the side of the seat it'd be too loose but fiddling and getting it through the side hole might get irritating ?

 

[Eddie.]

That Cup interior.

Goals.

Had to make a custom bracket with spacers. Belt fits nice and tight with no issues:

Might need to increase the spacer a little bit on the drivers side.

Lovely mate! Where in Glasgow are you? Never seen that about (unless its a track car only?)!

I had this setup when i had clubsports for the buckle. Didn't like having the buckle bolted to the side of the seat, as the seats are just fibreglass.

I really liked these seats and may get them again. I did find the shoulder wings a little too rounded forwards for me on long distance drives, and they needed a little more padding ideally as i used to get a numb bottom. I also felt the bottom flexing on bumps which would result in the seat springing me upwards, but this was only on bumpy roads (i weighed about 15 stone at the time).

Mine have just been delayed. Found out today
Late April now

Perfect!

The amount of flex that these have is pretty mental, I certainly wouldn't put my trust in them in a big shunt, appreciate they are still made by corbeau but you get what you pay for. I had considered them but after trying them in a couple of cars I deceided against them and went for something else

 

[basket491]

ive got a set of clubsports, just debating on wether to sell them or actually fit them :/

 

[iw_laurence]

Mine were very flexible until I ditched the runners. Alot more solid once fixed down in place. Wouldn't mind getting a larger front cushion that the back of my legs rest on as mines a bit flat. The padding is a bit thin but they are good seats.

 

[JamesBryan]

Those retrimmed ones make them look a lot more premium :up:

 

[Darryl_1983]

They do seem very flexible, I tried sitting in one before bolting it into the car and was very concerned about the flex. Seem to remember asking on here about it actually. But once bolted in they're not too bad. Like i Said above, i just had a bit of flex in the bottom when gravity forced me into the seat because of going over big bumps or hill.

First dibs if you do?

:relieved:

 

[dann2707]

I love clubsports, had them in my car for over a year and a bit now. They're very very comfy. Me and the gf did ~800 miles around wales in them over a course of a week and we had absolutely no complaints.

They are flexy with the standard sliders but once removed they are much more solid. I've got some decent evidence on that from track day videos. Have a look below.

With sliders


Without sliders

 

[cpaterson76]

Any pics of them fitted?

Photos of them fitted in a 200. I agree with the flex comment, no where near as robust as my Sabalt seats in the Trophy, but certainly look good and i like the fact they adjust without unbolting...........

 

[stonejedi]

I just purchased a set to go in my Clio I drove with a pair fitted to my friends Clio and found them to be fine and I am not really the smallest man In the world,and they drove nice much Better then the standard seats for support,so If you have been driving around with the standard Clio seats and not died yet Looool you will fine with the Corbeau seats.SJ.

 

[-Simon]

I agree you get what you pay for. But for under a grand retrimmed I'd say they are a real bargain.

I've been told mine may be late April early may :coldsweat:

Are they standard size or XL mate? and what they like for getting in and out of?

 

[cpaterson76]

Standard mate

Standard mate. Getting in and out not an issue at all, low sides which makes it very useable

cheers mate, took the punt and ordered some

 

[Paris 182]

Can i ask the people that they using them with the factory seat belts to put some picture to have a look how the buckles are mounted on the seat?

Thanks

 

[Christopher]

Recaro Pole Position in my car, but you get the idea of how to run OE belts with them.
Off picture, but they just run through the 6-point hole at the bottom side, then out to the mounting points the belts use.
