With the oem 3 point style, it allows the body to bend sideways and away from the roof.
Now the chances of rolling a car over in autox is very slim, so a harness bar and 4 pt should be ok. But if the car is going to any sort of track, I'd highly recommend either the stock 3 point with a CG lock (and yes your left foot will get really tired from supporting you, I've had mine even cramp on really hot days) or a correct 5 point with a custom rollbar.
Just my opinion.

I tried this in my FR-S. Didn't work for me, even though I have used this method in other cars. It seems there is just too much movement in the stock seat for this to work for me; the seatbelt just always loses its lock after a few hard turns. I will be buying a CGLock until I can afford a better option.
