A 4 point harness is a compromise and only a "look at me" mod for people who know no better.
A harness without a seat and cage is stupid. If you want a harness get a 5 or 6 point (go 6 point, your nuts will thank you), and at the same time install a good fixed seat ( installed properly), and a half cage at a minimum. You will now most likely lose some ability to head check when changing lanes, and dependant on your countries regulations, you car may now be illegally modified, thus lossing insurance cover and other stuff that may prove important in a street car.

I have Rallye 3 ASM for track days and factory seat belts for daily driving. You can easily store Rallye belts under or behind stock seats. The main benefit of Rallye belts is not being thrown around during hard cornering (saves back ache after full track day) and they are compatible with Simpson Hybrid harness. You need to be careful with how you strap (shoulder straps last) to ensure ASM will work. Its still a compromise though. Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk |

I agree that a 5 or 6 point is superior on track and especially with upgraded fixed seats. Unfrotunately in the local racing leagues it would have cost me performance points or straight up bumped me a class to upgrade the seats. Additionally the modifications for the harnesses would have made me illegal on the street. Do I think the 4 point harness was safer than the stock belts? No not really. So why after all of that would I bother to do it at all? With the stock belt I just couldn't get myself really stuck down in the seat. I had to do a lot of bracing to stabilize myself through the corners, over bumps, etc. This distracts you from fully focussing on the track, your line, and available grip. The only real upgrade (other than looks) provided by the 4 point was to plant my ass (and torso) securely in the seat. EDIT: IIRC the only point that doesn't connect between the BRZ and the E46 (previous car mentioned) is the rear belt buckle. I may look at swapping out this buckle with one that would fit the harness (I don't have rear passengers and I would still mount it with the proper hardware or not o it at all) but if I were to do it all over again I'd try and pick a harness that would allow me to still use the stock belt on the street but also be compatible with HANS device on the track. Due to the ASM release on the quick fit pro I don't believe it was compatible with a HANS device. |

To clarify because I may not have communicated it properly: DO NOT use a 4 point if it doesn't have some form of ASM (anti submarine) protection. Those are straight up dangerous. This is the harness I used. EDIT: Apparently Schroth says this harness was actually designed to be able to use a HANS device with stock seats. |
