Racing harnesses are designed for racing seats. Without the proper positioning of the shoulder harnesses they are rendered useless or even harmfull in some cases. Not to mention, you can't properly use an anti-submarine (crotch) belt unless you want to cut a hole in your stock seat.

If its staying put in your seat that you are concerned about, check out the CG-Lock. Cheap, removeable, and designed to work with your stock seat belt to keep it locked in place and keep you from sliding around in the seat.

If its safety you're concerned about, keeping everything stock is much safer than having some racing safety parts and some stock parts. Its either all the way stock, or full race gear (roll bar/seat/harnesses/helmet/hans). Those are the only truly safe ways to do it.


Full race gear or stock belts. No in between. There was a great strategy chart on this subject that was posted on the forum a while back but I couldn't find it. It showed all the different options and configurations for stock and race modifications with regard to seat belts and whether they were safe or unsafe. Very informative - wish I could find it again.
