    G-force 6 point in my track rat (same cage as you) and they're great. I also kept the stock belt for driving around.

    You can also use one eye bolt in the stock lower holder that's in the car, same threads... Saves you from drilling another hole.

    Ill add one more thing to confuse you.....I instruct at many DE's I go to, so i get to feel alot of brands. IMO.....its not worth going for big buck belts unless funds are not an issue, and you are a brand type of consumer. I recall Schroth giving me a bad neck rub in one ride....

    Ive had Gf yrs...no issues...ever. The GF pro series are even softer than they used to be...you want a nice pliable webbing....

    go to an event...check out all the cars.......done.

    you really cant go very wrong w/ any choice here...

    GForce are good for budget harnesses, if you want to spend a little more for a better product go with Safecraft. I don't find G-forces to be comfortable at all. I deal with all the different brands at work and Schroth are great quality as well but they are a PITA to install and adjust. The adjuster/slider mechanisms on the Safecrafts are awesome

    ..im in ny....westchester....come by and check it out....i run 5 pt as of now....GForce.

    You cannot beat bang for buck w/ GF.....are they the best?...no..... but Ive used em for yrs...just fine..and that incl. 4 hr drives to WGI....



    PP are nice seats..but if u can afford the coin..get XPG seat....MUCH better.

    PP are really best for a car that sees alot of street duty....and for many folks the shoulder holes are too low for proper install angles of shoulder belts...

    and u r welcome to come by the house.....to see a set up....if u have not as of yet.

    RCI will reweb any make or manufacture. They charge 70 for Latch, 100 for Cam lock. I am not sure they will redo FIA, but if you have an older pair of SFI like I did sitting in storage, it's a cheap way to get some spare belts.

    AS for mounting, I suggest the clip in on the lap belt. If you back the eyelet with fender washers it's hella easy should need to remove the belts for whatever reason..

    Also, somethings to consider, if you run a Hans, most models are actually designed for a 2" belt, and not a 3". The 3" will slide over the edge of the HANS in some instances, hence why they make HANS specific 3" belts, though most club racing organizations will let you run a 2" belt with a HANS.

    As for the difference in cost, if the belt is FIA cert, then it's going to be fine irregardless if it's the cheapest thing out there or a couple grand. While I don't like to skimp on safety, there is no reason to overspend just because the doom patrol loves to predict lower cost products will somehow burst in to flames and kill you and your entire family..

    I daily my car with a schroth 6 point without any padding, and it is perfectly comfortable. All I will add to that, is you get what you pay for.

    why would you buy 5pt and risk scrotal injury?
    Because you're not driving a lay- down formula car. The 6 point is
    only critical when you're supine. In a sedan, ALL the center belt
    does is hold the lap belt down against the shoulder harnesses.

    When you use the harness, you actually go 'up' as you go forward, not down.

    If it nads you in a sedan, you don't have it installed right.

    Willians are the best, if budget allows.

    Schroth profi2 is Very nice and pretty reasonable. Whatever you get should be a 6pt. If your buying safety equipment, why would you buy 5pt and risk scrotal injury? Most important part of the harness is HOW it's installed. Make sure you read the guidelines on mounting points and angles or have someone qualified install it for you. Schroth has well written guidelines you can download as a PDF on the Internet or you can watch their YouTube videos. These should be pretty universal instructions no matter what brand you buy. The biggest difference between cheaper FIA cert belts and the more expensive ones are how easy the adjusters are to use. Spend a little more and you won't regret it IMO. Good luck, hope that helps.

    I like Ultra Shield's 5- point- cam lock, not too expensive, and they reweb them for
    cheap when they need it.

    I have that exact harness on the passenger side. It's worth getting some of the eye bolts for the sides (I used http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1), snap hooks to attach to them (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and this plate to reinforce the bottom point (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I'm a prime member so pretty much all of those were to my door in 2 days.
