without paying the extreme amount of a takata. is there a harness that DOESNT COME LOOSE?! i'm sick and tired of the weak shit sparco harness that i have that always comes loose in the back two adjustments then is all uneven and pisses me off. plus i'm extreme add so i hate crap like that being off all the time. basically, i want locking adjustments and a cam lock. 3" belt is preferred.

You get what you pay for, this especially applies to harnesses. It is something your life depends on, I wouldn't cheap out if I were you.

Side note - do you run a roll bar, or are you asking for a broken neck/death?

G-Force. Get it from Discoveryparts.com great prices, fast shipping, excellent service.
I'd suggest a 5 point though.

Look into Impact Racing, as well. It's Bill Simpson's (relatively) new company. They make very high quality parts at good prices.

i prefer a broken neck/death of course. stupid question, my autopower should be ordered this winter. i don't ever fuck around on the streets, and when the competitions happen, its cone slangin parkin lot fun. if i flip, then so be it. but for the next couple of months and past year and a half, no cage. its bolted into rear seat belt locations.

if only my seat supported 5 pt D: i run a sparco sprint, i soooooo badly want a recaro spg but its just out of the budget. there's a couple others like the furious and pole position that i'm looking into. make the passengers sit in the sprint :fawkd:

ok, you guys have convinced me. do they have a way of locking at the adjustments? if they do then scroth it is.

If its coming loose I suggest you check how its hooked up. A properly installed harness should not loosen up.

johnny5> i prefer a broken neck/death of course.

roll bar's soon and all, just wanted to get some suspension out of the way first. now that the car handles way better than before, the shitty loop fasteners on the middle of the sparco belt i have now always loosen up and i kinda fly around...unacceptable. i think its looking like scroth/autopower this winter though. can't wait to finally feel safe in this setup.

I just got a Schroth yesterday, I'm VERY pleased with it. Quality is much higher than the comparable sparco. The store I bought it from is a racing safety specialty shop, and they recommended the Schroth over the Sparco. I was able to compare the two, both mounted on Sparco Speed seats (which is what I'm running) and the Schroth's quality is striking. Especially notable are the adjustment pieces, which, rather than being the heavy, bare metal, ones on the Sparco, are a lightweight alloy, and nicely finished in black. This same quality continues throughout the product, another example are the "Schroth" patches on the belts. Rather than the thin, printed, piece on the Sparco, they're a real, embroidered patch, like you'd put on a jacket. These are just signs of the attention to detail and quality present.

Note, by the way, that the Schroth differs in one major way from similar harnesses, it is not a camlock. Instead, it uses a sort of Quick Release buckle system, similar to the ones that are on stock seatbelts, but higher quality and with points for all four harness straps.
