wondering cause i have a really nice bride gias seat and i want to put in into my tc but i don't want to have roll bar cause i use my car daily.
So if those are still the same as 4 point or 5 point harnesses i think i might sell the bride..

But I've seen plenty of people put cages and 4-points in street cars and then drive without helmets. So when they get hit, their melon is gonna whack against a crossbar and their gonna go night-night.
Of course, you could be fine for years and years. Or, you could get paralyzed by improperly employed safety gear. Kind of an exciting toss-up, I guess.

thats scary.
the Doc is correct and things like that happen when people don't know. ok as for the Sparco 3 point harness that the OP posted, they where FIA before until something happened at a track and the driver got hurt because of that very same harness design so they really just said to use for shows or at your own risk. 4-point would be the best to get IMO because it will hold you down bit more. Takata are pricey but Schroth aren't and they are really good and if you want Sparco then get the 3" 4-point camlock which are FIA approved and nice too. but anything else like NRG and Corbearu aren't but yet you are the one driving and you call your shots on what you want to do. but make sure you do it right the first time and stick with the harness bar.
