I'm planning a BRZ built right now and contacted Schroth about their products, as I've used their Rallye 3 in previous projects. SCROTH's US distributor does NOT recommend Rallye 3 in the 86's!! Jeff Paulk got back to me pretty quickly, but this was his reply: Quote:
If you are going to use them, the belts really should go through the headrest bars, not around them, to help hold them in place in case of serious impact. (Page 15, Point 3: http://www.schrothracing.com/sdocs/R...structions.pdf) Not flaming, just posting this as an FYI as safety items are so critical to get right. ~M |

We use the Essex Harness bar and Takata (Shroth) "Race 4 Bolt" belts with an OMP Pista seat.
Essex may not claim it to do so, but it stiffened up our chassis and they're quite precise. Bar is bolt in and fitted within 1/16" Rear seats still fold down and 4 race tires can still fit in the back.

as far as #2 is concerned, or options available for a track/street car, i like this advice - although why the seat swap? if the concern for fixed back seat is a roll cage, it is provided in this example right? i thought the greater problem would be hitting head on cage (even padded) in the event of an accident. (??) is there no great solution to just put in the car and leave alone for street and track driving?

IMO you don't need fixed back seats. You can use the stock seats if you have a rollbar that supports them (does not get in the way). I have Recaro Sportsters which I believe is what you'll find in the JDM STi as well as other high performance cars.

Running a full cage in a street driven car is a ludicrous idea and I'm surprised you guys would recommend it. There's no better way to have your head pop like a watermelon than to have a street accident and bounce your skull off a steel bar!
