    These are completely unsafe for our car for a few reasons. The main being that we're using one hole for the both of the shoulder straps (read pinched neck like BlasTech said).

    The RSX seats at least have 2 separate holes so they can use them effectively.

    I'd suggest not using aftermarket belts with out stock seats.
    I accept and embrace the ricer in me...

    I ordered them thru my local Sparco dealer, happens to be my friend's shop. Also, I do not see where the neck pinching would affect. I have had no problem with that.

    WARNING>>>>WARNING>>>>>>WARNING

    BE CAREFUL!!!

    There has been alot of threads about this subject, here's one
    http://ephatch.com/forum/showthread....s&pagenumber=2

    here's a quote from Sparco USA 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."

    It will basically crush your spine during hard braking.
    I won't be an ass and told you what you should or should not do, so just think about all the facts before you install something.

    The rear mounting position of my belts are at less than a 45 degree angle. They show you this in the instruction manuals with the belts. Mine are at a 35 degree angle from the horizontal axis. Thanks for the warning though, but I was already aware of it;)
