Default Anyone use 4-point harnesses on stock seats?

I noticed that they would sit kind if high on the shoulders and can possibly slip off but is this the case? Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks all

Because of safety concerns in using a four point harness with the stock roll hoops, very few if ANYBODY would do this. The stock Three-Point is sufficient and probably much safer than a four point. In addition, the stock seats were no designed to accomodate a four point.

Have a roll bar fabricated, buy some rails/buckets, and THEN consider a FIVE-point harness.

I used a 4-point for a while and had no problems. Although the installation wouldn't have been race qaulified it was fine for the street. The Sabelt 3" harness I used was heavy enough to keep it on the shoulders of the seat. I installed the 4-point because I hate driving and jumping out of my chair on bumps/dips in the road. The OEM seat belt loosens too easily for my taste. I took the 4-point out because I am installing Sparco Roadsters. I'm going to run the OEM seat belts until I get a rollbar so that I can correctly mount the harnesses.
