Are you sure this question belongs here? Does it have something to do with RR/AX?

I'm not sure why you'd really want to be using a harness on the street... there are some safety issues to think about.

then why make this post?

if your del sol is actually a race car that is going to be seeing track time then color me wrong, but otherwise the stock 3 point belts are the most comfortable and the easiest to get out of.

i had old RCI 5-pts in my integra, but I never used them on the street, only when autocrossing, and with a stock seat and no harness bar to mount to they were very uncomfortable.

ya i have a harness for my civic, but only use it on the track. When im straped into that thing i can't go any were my arm can't even reach the radio. I just use the stock seat for the street. and simply wrap up the hanresses when im on the street

Street car, stock belts. Anything else is either a fashion statement or evidence that one is driving like an idiot on public roads.

Stock harness works best for the street. 5 point with a roll bar for the track.

If you care about your *****, go with a 6 point.

You can't move around while driving either.

Ever tried to reach your dashboard with a harness on? Ever tried turning to look at your blind spot with a harness on? Whoa, where did that peripheral vision go?

You asked for the best harness for a daily-driven car. You're getting your answer: The stock 3-point seat belt. It fits your criteria - comfortable and easy to get in/out of.

you alone are at fault for the direction this thread headed. are we mind readers? do we know that you are in the process of building a track car that will have proper roll-over protection?

we told you what was best with the given information.

don't go getting all butt-hurt 'cause we gave you sound advice.......

I may run the risk of sounding like .RJ here, but you probably would've found the answer faster, and without all the bickering had you clicked the search button.

I'll bet that the topic of 5pt vs 6pt vs whatever has been discussed more than once, hell this is the road race/autocross forum........

3" straps for the lap/shoulder, shoulder pads are important. I don't know that 5 or 6 point will be a big deal, it really depends on what seat you're mounting it with.


Search archive post bodies for Comfortable Point Harnesses

Ha, ran across a reply to one of your other threads
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1109525

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=635160
"Six-point is surprisingly more comfy than a 5-point in my experience. The sub straps run around the inside of your thighs like a climbing harness, rather than right through your naughty bits... "

https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=573373
"The seats are Sparco Evo's, very comfortable racing bucket seats for either cruising the strip, or racing down it. You will be held in safely by the Team Tech Pro Harness's (Some of the most comfortable 5 points you will find, expensive but well worth it). A set of Apexi Gauges (Boost and EGT) are mounted in the Pillar to keep you informed of "

sub straps are nice.

yes, but then why would you do that? you just spent you're hard earned money for a 5pt harness, but you're only using 4pts?
