I looked around for some pics of seat harness on the stock recaros, very few found in black and non in red. I was thinking to Get a Sparco harness bar with 2 sparco 4pt harness, mainly to fill the 2 holes in the seat and give the car a Raceier look. Cause I like to have Eyes on me. But anyway, I do Want to have harness that are good, but I can't afford Takatas . So i was thinking Sparcos I have seen and felt and used sparco harness before but i can't make up my mind on the Color, should i go red or black? I have a Silver MR. on the Stock Recaros. BTW does anyone have pics of Harness on the Stock recaros, I just want to see how they look, Idealy Red or black. I found a Few pics in the interior thread but they are mostly on aftermarket seats. (I might Buy some Brides Later)

You might want to run now, and never, never come back to this post (Id ask the mods to close it now for you...)

To be brief:
4pts - not safe
no cage with harness - not safe
putting in harnesses because they are cool - stupid.

I know what your thinking I am a Ricer, Can you Explain Why a 4pt isn't safe??

BTW this is a Maybe, and its illegal to Drive with Harness only on public Roads so I will still have the Factory Seatbelts. I forgot to say I was going to Get a Harness Bar, Soo If those suck too why?

Thank you, Thats EXACTLY what I am looking for, Just with Sparco. BTW I can't Find the GSC Harness Bar, its at STIKiller.com right? I only found the Sparco one which is just like it but doesn't come in black. I would Settle for Grey or silver.

Because in a roll a harness bar will do nothing for you.

read it, good info here, post #35 is a good one too...

4pts - no submarine belt - you can slide out from under it. Of course you are doing this for show but on a track (what harnesses are made for) that could be an issue.

If you flip (with harness bar and harness) and have dont have a hoop that supports the roof (AutoPower 4pt cage, etc)...you will be stick upright in your seat with nothing to keep your head from meeting your roof.

Again, if this harness is just for looks, your better off coloring your hair pink and driving around...

Ok I am Going with Harness Because I thought the Car should have them from Factory and They Look Cool ( I know its Dumb, but its me. its not like I am Gonna hur the car or i am putting Ricer stickers on). So in that Case I will not Be Racing the Car, Although I might go to the Track I definately Will not roll the Car (cause i won't Race it) I use this car as my Weekend car, I figured it would be cool to have harnesses on. So Flame me if you wan't, but Right now i want to know why a 4pt is bad, Seriously why is it unsafe?

There is a bunch of information about this in that link that I posted earlier. It is unsafe, but safer than stock. I went through the same thing when I was putting mine in. You must have the bar if you are going to put in the harnesses for proper alignment.

So which Harness would be better, a 6pt or a 5pt. But I dpn't realy speed or race. I am willingly admitting that its purely for looks. Yes We have established i am a Ricer. If i did race my car, I would trust my life in something Safer. But don't you still have to use the factory belts too?

Dude you dont have to be racing to roll the car man.....there has been a few evos just in the past couple months that ROLLED ON THE STREET. I am sure they didn't plan on it either, but you know what $hit happens and I wouldnt put myself or my passengers in any harnesses without a rollbar.

5pt or 6pt belts wont even work properly with the stock seat so you can forget that too.

OK you want it for looks and admit it, thats fine. So if you are going to use stock belts on the street and dont plan on racing the car, then when would u use the harnesses?? for show?? <---that was not a bash, it was a serious question

And there is a reason they didnt come with harnesses from the factory (UNSAFE)
