Looks good but where do you have the harness's mounted? I believe they are suppose to be shoulder height or higher or else they can be more harm then good in the event of an accident.

yeah really, those things need to be mounted right, otherwise your very cool seats and harnesses (they do look really sweet by the way) wont do anything for you in the event of a crash.

Well K20hatch, maybe its time you should just take out the back seats for some weight reduction.;)

Hey guys heres the answers to your questions:

1) The harness's are bolted to the backseat seatbelt bolt under the back seat. Thats where all the harness's company say to put them.

2) I took the back seats out because theres really no reason to have them now. I gonna do somthing custom with it so no worrys.

3) They do sit alot lower than the stock seats. After i put them in i had to adjust all my mirrors again.

I love the seats...There awsome...!!

The seats were 625$ for seats and harness's. Plus 150$ for the brackets.

i have sparco torinos that i'm putting in my ep when i get the adapters from showstoppers this week... i figured if i'd already paid $1100 for those seats and had them in my other h/b (1995), there was NO WAY IN HELL MY ASS WASN'T GOING TO USE THEM AGAIN... i wonder if those sparcos will be a lot lower? anyone know?

Exactly, as long as the holes where the belts come through are above your sholders, the force is converted to horizontal or slightly upward, regardless of the angle to the mounts.

Conversely, if your shoulders are higher, the force is converted to downwards, which is the bad way.

The same holds true for passing a belt through the center hole on our stock seats... as long as your shoulders are below the hole, the straps cant pull down on your spine.
