Mounting Harnesses on a street car

[CanadianDirty30]

Hey guys,

Im looking into upgrading my torn up stock seats to Recaro race seats. It would give the proper look to the car that im going for. With this, I also would want to mount some harnesses to go along with the seats. My question is, is it a bad idea to mount harnesses using a harness bar on a car I dont use for track? Ive read its not smart to have this sort of setup in a street car in the event of a crash. If need be, ill just use the stock seatbelts just wanted some clarification before i move ahead.

In a roll over, the roof can collapse and crush you as you are held upright by the harnesses. They shouldn't really be used without a roll bar or cage.

...and crap, are they a pain in daily use. Leading you to loosen them, and increasing
how much it hurts when you get rearended/ rearend someone, because they are too loose.
Plus, they're not DOT legal.

I did use 'em on the street in a dual- use car a bit- but ended up putting the stock
belts back in and only using the 5- points on the track. But that car had a roll bar.

Because they really are a pain in the neck...

just my 02,
