With this set-up. You keep the stock cross bar. And you have better angles with the belts.

Thank you for the help. That looks like a pretty decent bar and will hold up well. Also won't get in the way of the seats.

Not a really bad crash either.

You can FF to the 2:12 Mark.

I know the car has an airbag but it's not made to deploy correctly with a harness.
Keep a harness for show/track, keep the the seat belts for the street.

Rusty,

This harness bar does not attach to anything in these pictures.

The bar comes with a drop bolt that goes through the metal plating. Essentially getting two contact points for security.

It does not attach to the cross bar!

I think we get it, you like the MA bar. I do too..... Just not enough to spend $650 on it.

No. I like any bar better then the stock aluminum cross bar. That thing is just a piece of bling. No structural strength to it. The MA Motorsports is about the best one I've seen. The other one that was posted is not bad either. My biggest gripe about them. They all use the upper seat belt mounting for their mounting with a longer bolt. I just don't trust that area of the roof, side pillar area. Having an engineering degree. I look at things a bit differently. :icon14:
