Seat belt harnsess with roll cage.. Is roll cage necessary?
I really like the recaros in the evo x. I also really like the look of the seat belt harness goes through the seats. I do not have any idea really on how the seat belt harness really works and connects. I was curious though...would it be a waste of money/time to get a 5 point harness in the car if their is no roll cage?
I just want the look of the belts coming down the chair from the front view of the car.

Other problmes, 5 point also restrict movements, and only works if you tight yourself down properly. That position you wont reach many places in the car. Like glow box , fully open door etc. highly impractical for daily.
I can see only one options for DD car, and keep the rear seats , the Schroth system i told you.
i hope it helped a bit.

I agree with Rob on this one, go 4-point. Also, check the laws and insurance policies in your area. I was thinking about getting a 4-point for occasional spirited driving, but my insurance would drop me if I was in an accident with a 4-point on. Also, the harness needs to be DOT legal, unless you're keeping the factory seat belts in place.
you should double check, but i think the Schroths are street legal. Also has a reel version which i would buy.

Yeah, I think the Schroth uses the rear LATCH anchors or factory rear lap belt bolts and the factory front lap belt bolts. You'll want the inertial reel for a street car if you want to ever change the radio or the A/C blower position
