Default seat belts

I was wondering if you could hook up the 4 point racing harnesses in your car if you had a stock 05 rsx type s interior

Unless you have a full racing cage, please don't do this. I don't care how much "mAd tite jDM street cred y0!" you'll get.

It's actually more dangerous if you were to get in a roll-over accident. Trust me.

Edit: I know you guys won't believe me and think that i'm retarded, but it's proven that the angle of the seatbelts being anchored improperly can cause spinal damage and severe injury, whereas if you have the standard 3-point seat belt you have room to move during an accident and won't get hurt.

nothing like being compressed into your seat and making you roll in a wheel chair for the rest of your life, if you are looking for something for auto x or something i sugest looking into a gc lock, it attached to your stock belt and does a great job at keeping you planted.

B pillar bar from Sparco with Harnesses for the win!

I am not a huge fan of harnesses and I hope my DD never is at a point to where I have to have them. Then it won't be considered a DD for me and I want my car full comfort prepped and streetable. Aside from the common side effects of stiffer ride, louder, etc from normal mods.

well out of all the cars that arent auto x only local here that do auto x 95 percent of the people own and use them the other 5 percent borrow them or rent them from the scca group. as anyone that frequesnt what a gc lock is and youll get an answer super fast. yeah i use them also if you were wondering. and it really does help keep u in place so you can contol the car better.
