All though they dont have air bags, you will have the option to wear a race harness.

Also most cars don't have an appropriate mounting point for the shoulder straps. If they aren't mounted properly they can be much more dangerous than you would ever get from an OEM belt. Done properly there is nothing wrong with them, but most people don't mount them properly in a street car.

Very true, not sure where the post is but Travisjb had an excellent link & post on mounting points, angles and force applied with harness straps v. OEM setups. If I can find it again I will link to it.
