Sparco seat harnesses, anyone know?
I have a couple questions about Sparco harnesses, and their site doesn't answer them.
Anyone know how they hook in? They have 3 and 4 point harnesses. I need a pair for my 00 Si with Torrino's, and I don't know which one to get.
Are they legal for street use?

Sparco harnesses are *not* DOT legal. The only DOT legal belts are the Schroth units, forget their model, but those are the only DOT legal harnesses available.
Since you're getting reclineable seats, I would either stay w/ the stock belts or use a harness just on raceday, autox/track/drag.
Or is this for a show car?

They might be legal, but they're far more dangerous than the factory belts. I put a rollbar in mine so that I could correctly install harnesses.

the street legal harness is the schroth rallye 3 and rallye 4(get it, 3 and 4 point. anyways...). they are around 150 dollars, and yes, they are that much safer than than non-dot approved belts(cage and harness is the only way to really be safe when running harnesses). according to sube sports, the dot approved schroth belts stretch 7 inches in the event of whatever crash they use to gauge these things. the sparco belts stretch 14 inches.
since you got reclining seats, do yourself a favor and please only run the stock seatbelt for street driving. if you feel you must buy a harness for race day and refuse to put a cage in, get the schroth.
