I ended up getting this kit:

However I find it bluer than I would like. At least compared to the set I had for my CC that was pure white. This one has a lot more blue tint to it.

All set with harness bar and harness! It's crazy how much of a difference this makes. I'm usually a pretty reserved driver on the street but I heard my tires in the corners a LOT more - realized the feeling of shifting in your seat and car is most of what gives you the "too fast" sensation and that's all gone now unless the car is actually not going where it should. Big difference, and way worth it. Being strapped down to the car makes it feel much more like an extension of you.

I'm a tall guy (a hair over 6'3"), and this setup still works for me as long as I'm not too far back (which you shouldn't be when actually "driving" anyway). I got the Schroth ASM four points which are also DOT legal for the street.

One of the best improvements I've been able to make to my ability to drive so far - along with the @GrimmSpeed master cylinder brace, it's made my car feel much more engaging.

Its this one some one posted earlier
[ame="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2M7850/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1"]Amazon.com: Neo Grab NEO GRAB_BK Smartphone Car Mount Holder Cradle for Samsung Galaxy S4, Note 2 and iPhone 4S/5 - Retail Packaging - Black: Cell Phones & Accessories[/ame]

So far its holding fine. Only used it for a day so we'll see. Took a bit of moving around to get it in a spot where it would create suction, but once it did seems like it's on there pretty good.
