It’s so much hassle…if you really want, you can get a harness but only use it when you’re on the track. If you plan on driving around with a harness on the street, you might as well put some JDM beginner driver stickers on your car. It’ll give you the same poser effect. ---

Wow, this thread is horrid. Roll your car a couple times. Smash it all up. Have only seconds left to live. Now rather then cutting just one belt; still a side from the roof and what ever else; they now need to cut 6. Lessening your chance of living. O.E seat belts of today suffice very good results. If they didn’t. Well come on. Racing seat belts are for just that. Racing. Why the hell would you want a harness if you never track your car? Even if I did track my car. I would hate having the harness laying in the car when Im not using it. Go get some “Titanium Lugzors” while your at it. ---

I don’t know about you, but if I’m racing I rather have a 6pt harness holding me in if i crash than an oem belt. ---

Perhaps I should of been a little clearer. Although I thought I was clear…obviously not clear enough. Even if I had a 6 point (which I do in my truck) [for racing] when I am driving on the street, I do NOT want to even have it in my truck/car. Looks like shit laying around. Draws attention. It’s pretty dumb really. Put it in for the track and that’s it. I think any one would feel pretty stupid if you were wearing a fucking racing harness and a cop pulled you over and busted a gut laughing at how fucking retarded you look. They are called racing harness’ for a reason. For racing. If O.E belts were not good enough…don’t you think ALL cars would have 6-point’s? Roll cages? Do not even bring up some of the expensive cars in to this. I have seen factory cars (not in person) that have harness’. ---

Exactly. I’m thinking about getting a harness for my car but just for the track. Put it on before the track and take it off after the track. I’d never rock it on the street. You look like a douchebag wearing it. Where do you guys mount your 4 point harness’? ---

Wouldn’t you want a harness with a roll cage? What’s the point of a harness without a cage? If you crush the roof with or without a harness and no roll cage, does it really matter? ---

The harness holds you in your seat better on the track IMO. With my OEM seat I slide around a bit. With the harness I’m tight up against the seat with no room for moving. ---

racing harness must be used with a cage or you risk serious injury in a rollover… If you roll over and the roof crushes in because you do not have a cage and you are wearing a 4, 5, 6, point harness the harness will not allow your body to move and bend down one way or another with the oem one will allow you to do… in turn death/ serious injury is more likely overthe oem one… now if you have a racing harness with a cage and said cage is certified as well as the harness is certified and sfi approved and the car has seen a shop to make sure said harness is properly secured as well being run in a "racing seat " that will properly run the harness over your shoulders and not allow said harness to pinch your neck in a hard impact then yes you can run a harness safely and legally in your car [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/harness/126315.md?page=2)
