Hold on, why is it necessary to get roll cages and roll bars with the seats and harnesses...Putting in a lightweight seat and harnesses doesn't mean that you will increase your chances to roll or get into a crash. The safety stuff (except the side airbags) remain basically the same..Right?

The stock 3-point belts are designed to allow your body to bend and twist out of the way in the event of the roof caving in. With harnesses, this is not possible so the only thing that will be able to bend and twist is your neck...which can't take much bending and twisting

. Its the harnesses themselves which shouldn't be run on the street, not necessarily the seats. With that being said, most racing buckets will not let you properly use the stock safety belts either rendering them useless. So its a viscious cycle. Switching to reclineable racing seats without harnesses or a roll bar is usually fine though as they don't have the high side bolsters so they allow the stock belt to sit properly across your lap.
