In theory, I see the argument about being locked into your seat with harnesses being bad.. but.. whatever. I'm looking forward to the install pics too.

If you are looking to potentially sell the car down the road, then harness bar would probably be easier to uninstall than a welded in rollbar/harness bar.?

I would personally like a rollbar/harness bar with the option to keep the stock seatbelts - with aftermarket seats.. But - this isn't my thread. Good luck OP.

what theory? it's fact that you will have limited mobility in a rollover if your entire upper body is strapped up-right, and if someone claims, "i'll just have the belts loose enough so I can duck down" good luck doing that with the g-forces acting on your body...from the initial shock of impact, your body will probably proceed in whatever motion your car was moving prior, and have even more forces acting on your body via straps or worse-- submarine yourself and chunk your legs into the dash and then if the roll over happens, you'll probably be in an awkward physical state half stuck up and flopping around.

I doubt anyone will have much choice in where their head or any part of them goes in the case of a rollover. A cage or rollbar would be safer, but not many road going cars have them. Get racing seat, get harness, go faster, and be happy.

Still waiting for pics... perhaps we can sideline the roll cage debate for another time.

Second if my roof collapses I got MUCH bigger problems then if my head was mobile enough.

Half this dam forum have NONE Stock seats does that mean if they used the 350z harness bar so they can change there belt setup as stock seatbelt doesnt really conform to the racing seats they FAIL ?
That was the hardest post to ever read in my LIFE.

Post this makes sense no. Bar harness seat back will stay in upright for position when over for roll cage roll bar. Seatbelts none for stock seatbelts in Z when seats for seatbelts.

WTF ARE YOU SAYING!? Hahaha your shouldn't type when you're eAngry.


P.S. Sparco Torino's aren't fixed back racing seats, to the dick who was yelling about when your car rolls over, etc...
