how comfy will it be with a racing seat and harness that you cant even fast forward your headluni?

if you still plan to do it with the harness, you can slip it behind the backseat.

it's like fakeing the funk

you can just bolt it to where your stock rear seat belts are.

if your only buying racing seats and harnesses for COMFORT, dont.
get some reclinable recaros or sparcos.
i got corbeau forza's (non reclinable) with 4pt harnesses and i like them but i'll also be racing my car.

If you do any type of road racing you can not use harnesses not unless they are mounted properly to a harness bar or roll bar/cage.

Looks and comfort, wtf?
If you've got racing seats looks and comfort aren't your #1 priority.
I think Schroth makes some harnesses that work like OEM style seat belts that retract and crap.

Racing seats + harness + lack of roll cage = death wish.

That is COMPLETELY unsafe.

If you roll your car, you'll probably snap your neck because a harness wont let you slide down the way street seatbelts were designed to. There's a reason racing harnesses werent put in street cars from the beginning.

Also, don't mount them to the floor behind the seat. Could compress your spine in an accident.


Really, just go with your stock seatbelts. They were designed very well for the sole purpose of saving your life. If you switch to harnesses for the bling, and you get in a wreck, your insurance might not cover your injuries.
