I have seen them for 350ish.....but it depends on if u want the five point and the pads too...then it gets mroe expensive..

By the way the takata are very good harnesses, but are very much useless without a rollbar or rollover protection.

Do not use takata on the street, they are illegal. They are not street legal for two reasons.

1) they are not lifetime belts and have an expiration date that you should find out about before u buy some that are expiring anytime soon

2) When properly tightened you WILL NOT be able to look over your shoulder to check your blind spot. This can get you into an accident. So it is highly recommended u only use this for sanctioned racing (drag/autox/road race)


Using harnesses with only a harness bar is dangerous in the event of a roll over. So please get an SFI rated cage or roll bar so that we dont have a thread made about how u died in a rollover with your head smashed in.

In my race car (integra) i have a roll bar and clip in sparco harnesses. On the street I use the OEM seatbelt which I never removed from the car. When on the track i put the oem one to the side and use the harnesses.

I hope this info helps you because I see plenty of people on this site that don't know any better and run harnesses tied to the back seat with no roll over protection.

i realize JDM is neat and all, but for 400 dollars x 2? you can get a sparco/schroth harness for 250, or sabelt and off brand harnesses for even less. look around a bit!

Takata are overpriced. If you want a harness there are plenty of other option at less than half the price and they don't come in the ugly green. See Sparco, G-force, ultra-shield

Also look into Scroth Racing. They're the best out there.

No Willans and Takata are the best IMO....but for the price Sparco or Sabelt is the way to go.
