Default Sparco harnesses any good?

I'm looking for harnesses, and there are tons. If anyone can provide personal views on their experiences with different brands I would really appreciate it!
I drive my car daily and I need to find out what to use, a regular 4 point clip harness or a 4 point cam bolt harness? Im looking at Sparco, but they range in price, generally the clip on Ive noticed is cheaper. Is it a pain to use cam bolt for a daily driver, or should I save up to buy that type? For $169 I can get 3 inch 4 point Sparco Harness cam bolt, and they sell 4 point bolt in for around $80 bucks. Is there a big difference between a 5 point and 4 point for a street car??
I know there are alot of brands, but I need something cheap but good for now. Takata, Tenzo-R, Sabelt, I can find the prices, but I need some user reviews from you guys!
Thanks HT friends, and btw its for a 96 civic with GS-R seats.
Maybe 2 inch harnesses are better for street?

yeah, you also have 3" harnesses with a camlock, rather than a 2" with a plastic clip

if you're going to get harnesses, at the very least get a rollbar, but the ideal is using a harness bar integrated into the rollber and wrapping it around the harness bar.

No, you don't understand. It had $2500 spent on sparco seats, but they were Evo seats with a pair of racing cam bolt harnesses. He sold the seats to a guy, and then the seller put in GS-R seats and sold it to me without seatbelts. Im looking to buy a (1) harness for my GSR seat, and i think they will work just fine. Maybe you can recommend a different brand perhaps, the car has a roll cage.

I ordered a pair of GSR seats, but thats for my passenger. For me, I prefer a racing harness. I guess they don't make 2 inch harnesses with cam bolt, only bolt in??

thanks, I checked online, and Sparco sells a 2 inch cam bolt 4 point harness for $199. The 3 inch cam bolt goes for $169. Now I don't know why the cheapest competition harness is a bit cheaper. What is the feel of a 2 inch versus a 3 inch, which is more comfortable, which is more secure, etc. Thanks

yeah, for $75 bucks its pretty cheap, but I got them new and I didn't have to have it shipped, I just picked them up, plus although they look clean and nice, I can notice it's a bit used and dirty and I like blue much more than black. good luck on the sale!

Any threads or pics of an install of Sparco harnesses on GSR seats, possibly with roll cage?

I have Sparco 3 inch 6 point cam locks, Sparco Sprint seats and a 6 point roll bar in my Si. I love em' - but they are definetly hardcore for the street. To be honest, without the harness pads they get a little uncomfortable after a while against the neck.

I took a 4 hour road trip driving an EG hatch with the 2 inch Sparco 4 points and they are pretty comfortable. The only issue I have noticed is that when you do not have a sub strap (the belt that goes between the legs), the harness seems to ride up a little.

Good luck with the install - don't take any shortcuts!

This is somewhat on topic. I'm looking for a Trust, or set of, Trust cam lock harnesses. I'm not having much luck finding them. Anybody have any leads?
