Looks like a good deal and I think those are decent harnesses too. Only thing is make sure how you're mounting the two lower ones. That particular version is a snap in which connects to the eyebolts they provide. Would also make it a cinch to take in and out though.

They offer a bolt-in also. I didn't get them though. With VAT and shipping (not sold in the US, atleast not the Clubman 3), they were too much...which sucks because I really wanted those ones. Sabelt is rarely seen/heard of in the states, and they're one of the top Euro companies. I ended up getting the Rallye 3 in black. Simply because it was the right price and has the quick detach for the trunk.
Now I need to make sure I can actually fit in my car with my helmet on

Ha... it'll be close. I'm 6'3" and about 190-200 lbs and I'm REALLY close. If I'm sitting idle with my helmet on it pokes a tiny bit into the sunroof cutout of the headliner (not actually OUT of the car - but enough into that area to tilt my head a tiny bit). I never notice when I'm running, but it's kind of annoying when I'm not.

Well I'm 6'4 and 185, so I'm right up there with ya. With the stock seats and my seating position, my hair would go into the sunroof opening, so I had maybe 1" of spare room. With the Corbeaus, I have some more room. If it wasn't for the sunroof opening, I don't think I would have even fit in the car lol.

Ha... nice. I still haven't heard anything about my potential Corbeaus. I'm wondering if I should give them a call tomorrow or something (since it's been an even week since they've received it).

Ya, that's why I figured a week or more would be OK... instead of calling like 2 or 3 days afterwards...
Kind of like trying to woo a lady friend... don't want to scare her away right away.

The class is pretty open actually. Could be just about anything in there. I've seem some REALLY well prepped Hondas run in there, as well as a 350Z with some light mods.

That would be me. SM. The last event we had, I didn't know what class I was in, so I entered in FSP. Yeah found out real soon...."Wrong"...lol. But they let me run in it anyway since it was Novice.

I'm still not sure what class I'd be in. From what I'm gathering, it'll be SM or SSM (for some reason I remember seeing a Super Street Modified class), if SSM even exists.
I think I just want to be considered super modified

Brian I believe runs in the SM class. He's built motor and boosted. If you have the upgraded tires, then that will put you in Tire class for SM. It gets confusing, I'm still learning myself...lol.

My wheels are sort of OEM equipped though. If it bumps me up, I won't complain. I'm in it to have fun, not to compete. I know I won't keep up with the things in my class and I don't expect to. I have a feeling I'm going to be running with a certain blue C5 Z06 vette though...and he's putting down...oh roughly 550WHP.

The Z06 would be SSM... b/c he's a real 2 seater.
Class SM
Eligible Vehicles:
All sedans/coupes (models which were originally equipped with a minimum of four seats and four factory seat belts).

.550whp don't mean nothing in AutoX. Maybe Time Attack, but for the most part AutoX courses are usually tight and technical.
I would venture to say tires were more important than HP when it comes to AutoX.
