Default racing harness and harness bar

Although this topic might have brought up many times, i couldn't find the answer i'm looking for.
I did my search for couple hours and came up with Schroth, corbeau, and Simpson for harness, and sparco, and NRG harness bar. These look to be decent items in somehwat cheap price. Which brand do you recommend?
For harness, Schroth clubman seems to be the best for money and brand name. But i couldn't find much info on clubman. Anyone have comments?
Does it have the one push button and release all 5/6 points straps thing?

For harness bar, NRG looks like it comes with two supporting rods. Any comments on NRG bars?
Do sparco bars have supporting rods?
i'll appreciate your suggestions.
thanks.

Jason's harness bar is out of my budget, sadly. That's why i'm looking at NRG right now..

Yes, Sparco bars have supporting rods.

As far as harness options, you could also check out G-Force (a bit less expensive than others) and pyrotech.

Link to a site that shows some options - http://www.soloracer.com/harnessbelts.html

I love my Scrothe harness but I only use it since its FIA rated, which means it is good for 5 years for competition. G-Forces are good for the cost and very common in the HPDE crowd.

check with your SCCA handbook as to what is/is not legal for the class you are running

the NRG bar is aluminum = doo doo

as for budget, you just saved hundreds by not buying useless gauges...wait a bit and buy something worth buying instead of cutting corners. If you buy it and it's not up to spec, was it really a good deal?

For an autocross/street car combo you can't beat the Schroth Profi 2 FE-asm.

Adjustment lengths: (G-force)
Lap: 38"–67" (Pull-Up) or 38"–80" (Pull-Down)
Shoulder: 26"–50"
Sub-Strap: 7"-25"

Corbeau 5 pt.: Shoulder belts adjust to 72" long

Pyrotect:
Adjustment lengths:
Lap: up to 34"
Shoulder: up to 52"
Sub-Strap: up to 34"

am i suppose to buy seat, harness bar and harness all together? Cause i saw some pics on how to install harness and there are specific angles where i mount the harness.
The angles would be off if i use the stock seat now and replace the stock seat to bucket seat or something. The seat mount has to be customized with Aero Design Notu i'm thinking of.

no I am going to keep it unless I decided to do a custom roll bar which I don't think it would be anytime soon.

It is a custom made one that AcidJake75 and I mentioned earlier. http://www.350zhatchshocksandmore.com/Harness_Bar.htm

PM JasonZ-YA if you are interested.
