Default 4 point harness on stock seats.

Just wondering if anyone is running a 4 point harness on stock seats. Any opinions or comments on this setup would be very helpfull. Is installation hard, any modifications need to take place in order to mount. I was looking to get a driver side takata harness, using it either a sparco or Lokar motorsports harness bar.
Thanks

Putting on flame suit.........................

You will soon see most here are very oppossed (with good reason) to installing harnesses with out a rollbar/cage unless this is for show.

Harnesses without rollbar

Seriously, research the safety issues associated with doing this.

I wasnt aware that that was a problem with the harnesses. I could see how if it was floor mounted in the impact of an accident that the harness would pull down on the shoulders and compress the spine not to mention other problems. But with a harness bar mounted and installed properly what would be the safetly concern.
Maybe im just missing something,
btw thats a lot of money

the safety concern would be that in an event of a rollover, you will be not move and your head could be crushed because there is no protection from the roof collapses. the stock 3 pt seatbelts however prevent this hazard by sliding you to the side in case of a rollover.
