sparco has some nice harnesses, takata's are bad ***....but i really don't recommend installing them with out a harness bar!!!! harnesses require at least a 40deg angle from where they are mounted for safety purposes... the idea of a harness is for saftey not show.....without the proper installation you could be looking a some broken collar bones if in a accident, i've seen it happen...just so you know.

I decided to dump the harness idea once I started reading about it. Not only you can break some collar bones, in case of a roll-over without a roll cage, you can break your spine. It's also good to wear a helmet and swap out the stock seats which are probably designed to snap (backrest) after certain loads. Imagine what happens to your body if it snaps and harness holds you in tight.

I went with the schroth 4pt harnesses. They're great for the occassional track day or spirited Mt driving. You can keep your stock 3 points and just tuck them away for normal driving.
