I just bought some tenzo seats and no im looking for a 4 point harness for atleast the drivers side. Can anyone point me in the direction of good harnesses and such ebay or whatever..please let me know..phil
How much are you looking to spend? We have quite a few different brands.......
You shouldn't be using a harness without a roll cage.

Where he attaches them is irrelevant. They will hold you upright in your seat and are a danger in a rollover accident. A normal 3-pt belt will allow your body to move sideways to the center of the car in a rollover.
The attachment points are important as well, though for different reasons.
Get a set of sparco 5 point harnesses. I run them in my ls1 and their great. I agree with above statements, get a cage if u want to hook up the harnesses the right way.
Well i was planning on makeing aharness bar that attaches behind the seats to the stock locations..i am only runnning one harness as well for the driver the pass side will prolly only kee the stock belts...bad idea? dont really want to run stockers with new race seats..lol..phil
If your going to have a harness for the driver you better have one for the passenger as well. Cause if you don't its going to look extremely ugly.
well i may do it one at a time..the bar will have mounts for both....its a money thing for now tho..as for a roll bar i may make hoops over the seats on the harness bar for a bit of protection..keep in mind its more for looks then anything..its not fast....yet..so what do you all have for harnesses and how are they for daily driving?? phil
Even slow cars roll over now and then.
If it's just for looks, then have fun with it but when you're driving, wear the stock belts.
As I said, it's more dangerous to have the harness if you don't have a roll cage.
When you start messing with the safety systems in a car, you have to realize that you're not an engineer and may not understand all the complexities of what you're dealing with. While you think you're making an improvement, you could actually be taking a big step backwards in safety.
This is one of those cases.
There's a reason stock belts are designed the way they are. To get added safety from a harness, you need a roll cage. Then, with a roll cage, you either need a whole bunch of padding or you shouldn't be driving without a helmet. You can see how this all becomes pretty impractical for a street driven car.
Your harness CAN be useful if you're autocrossing though, where there's pretty much nil chance of a rollover, but realistically your racing seats are going to provide all the bolstering you need so you still don't need the harness to hold you in place.
Well i do plan on auto crossng acually next year hopefully....il prolly get harnesses and just risk it....either way none has awnsered my question tho..are there any good /bad brands?? phil
Umm rci, sparco, momo, corbeau....they all make harnesses. Check out there respective websites for prices im sure...if you have extra cash you could splurge and go with takata
^^hay Jason, where are the harness' on that GP??
RIP Kasey Burleson, and get well soon Chris Shelly
