Thanks!

Some folks have gone with Type R or other seats just to get the true harness holes...

Im wondering if any better harness is at all compaitble with the EP seats, too.

If you want racing harness for your EP get "Y" harness it starts off as one strap and goes through our one hole n then leads to 2 shoulder straps

This topic has been brought up once before.
It's not safe to use racing harness and mount them on the car floor, the only way to safely use a racing harness is to mount them on a rollcage behind the driver's seat horizontally.
I can't remember where I read this, but if you do a search, I'm sure you can find it!:)

they dont need to be mounted to a rollcage. They just have to be mounted to a hardcore bolt in the trunk i can even use the one rite by the spare tire

That could be true.
Here's what I found on the Sparco Website

"It is strongly recommended that the shoulder harnesses are fitted as close to horizontal as possible. It is a must that the angle of the shoulder harness does not exceed 45 degrees in relation to the theoretical horizontal axis of the mounting points. It is recommended that the harnesses be mounted to the fixing points suggested by the car manufacturer. The fixing points should always be reinforced by a steel plate fitted on the outer side of the car, not by welding or pop riveting."
Play it safe guys!:D

So if the straps were pulling down on your sholders at a 45 degree angle it would pull down on the spine... OK, ouch... except the straps would be actually about coming down an inch to my shoulders from above after going through the hole in the seat back.

The pressure on my shoulders is virtually horizontal if pulled through the seatback hole... it wouldnt pull down at all, even if the straps went straight down to the floor.

Hmm, that's kinda true. How tall are you? I'm about 6' and my shoulder is about parallel to the bottom of the hole.
So I guess it's particularly more dangerous to tall guys to install the harness on stock mountings?

Im 5'6" with horrendous desk-job posture.

Here's a basic idea of my body type:

...just thinking outloud, but I would like my belts/harness attached to something other than a do it yourself/mickey mouse bolt down screw incase of an accident...like said earlier, big price to pay, just to look cool, I think imo I will wait for a rollcage...
