^^^Nice link except, I installed mine w/out having to undue the shoulder strap buckle.....Just feed the lap belt & shoulder harness through the seat harness holes together

In any event, Ive been using the Autocontrol as my primary street belt since Feb 09..........Would not recommend the Rally belt as a street harness due to its rigid rear mount

I use the Rallye4 at the track. But MinusPrevious is correct. They're too much of a pain to use on the street, so I just use the stock belts when I'm not on the track.

so do people get the bar so people are still able to sit in the back...and the cheaper way is to just use the rear seatbelts? am I seeing that right?

Some ppl say having the bar is safer but that argument can go on forever. In the owners manual that came with the belts it states that it can be bolted how i have it so im not worried. Also i wouldn't want to be a passenger in the back seat even if you did have a harness bar. The bars are solid steel and at head level. not to safe.

Yeah, I'm with EatSleepBoost. You should never have passengers in the back when your harness bar is in the car.

I found it simpler to just never have back seat passengers.

+1 ^^^ my rear springs are to low anyways to have ppl in the back. any more than 150lbs in the back causes my rear tires to rub over bumps pretty bad. Throw 1 chick back there on occassion, thats about it.
