driving w/ racing harness

[marshmallow15]

are there any harnesses out there that are street legal (IE sfi approved, dot approved etc.) such as takata, sabelt, corbeau, sparco, or any others?

I've got pulled over twice with my sparcos and they never said anything...Of course this is Oregon.

The biggest concern i will voice here is that if your useing a 4 or 5 point harness you need to also need to invest in a racing seat. You can find ones with a FIA homogloian and that have passed a saftey test for those french weirdos.. Oh and if your wondering why i would insist on it, most cheaper seats have a locking recline on one side and a hinge on the other. In a extreme accident the hinge can snap and the seat will twist, the 4/5 point harness then proceeds to strangle the occupant, cute eigh?

Most law enforment people will let you off once they see you are wearing a seatbelt but your still gonna get pulled over for them not being able to see it.

actually i already have the money for a racing seat, just not sure whether to get an expensive cobra/bride carbon kevlar seat, or a regular corbeau seat from corksport. i think im going to go with something under $400 per seat though. something over that is ridiculously expensive.

i dont know if you get sport compact car magazine, but a few issues ago they rated like 200 racing seats and how they fit and feel fot different size guys. you might wanna pick that up. ill too see which issue its in, or go online and maybe they have a run-down of it on the website

yea i saw that article. they rated the generic ebay seats and the 'real deals' like they like to say?
