Take your pick.... they all should be. If they are safe for racing, why wouldn't they be safe for the streets? I've never had problems with legality of harnesses....

Stay away from the ricer 4 points that latch into the rear seat belts.

If you get into an accident, and the car crumples like it's supposed to, then the shoulder straps are loose and you are flopping in the car like a rag doll.....

There are a few that have DOT approval. The tag on the belt should say they are DOT approved or not. If you choose to use the "DOT Approved" remember to have a Harness bar and seat that accept harnesses. I have a Harness bar but I doubt that it's DOT approved. Plus as far as I know they are not legal in the SCCA or in many racing associations.

alot of people don't know this because they just do whatever they want, but MOST aftermarket seats and harnesses are not DOT legal and not legal for street use. We've had cops bring it up, but at the same time, I've never seen anyone ticketed or impounded for it. only warning.
