I have a couple questions about Sparco harnesses, and their site doesn't answer them.

Anyone know how they hook in? They have 3 and 4 point harnesses. I need a pair for my 00 Si with Torrino's, and I don't know which one to get.

Are they legal for street use?

Sparco harnesses are *not* DOT legal. The only DOT legal belts are the Schroth units, forget their model, but those are the only DOT legal harnesses available.

Since you're getting reclineable seats, I would either stay w/ the stock belts or use a harness just on raceday, autox/track/drag.

Or is this for a show car?

 

u wanna get the 4 point!!! itll hook into where the rear seat belts are to go. and the other 2 i forget....

 

stay with stock for the street

 

how bout 3point? do they connect to the back seat belts are to go?

 

They might be legal, but they're far more dangerous than the factory belts. I put a rollbar in mine so that I could correctly install harnesses.

 

That's what I was thinking of doing...but if they're not street legal anyway...

 

the street legal harness is the schroth rallye 3 and rallye 4(get it, 3 and 4 point. anyways...). they are around 150 dollars, and yes, they are that much safer than than non-dot approved belts(cage and harness is the only way to really be safe when running harnesses). according to sube sports, the dot approved schroth belts stretch 7 inches in the event of whatever crash they use to gauge these things. the sparco belts stretch 14 inches.

since you got reclining seats, do yourself a favor and please only run the stock seatbelt for street driving. if you feel you must buy a harness for race day and refuse to put a cage in, get the schroth.
