Bolt-in harness bars are junk. Sell it before you get seriously hurt in a fender bender. Short of a real racing cage setup, factory seatbelts are much safer.

It's a gray area.

They are legal for most if not all HPDE (At least with NASA, Porsche Club, HoD and oother groups) for track use, so long as an aftermarket seat is also being used (and that the harness bars have down braces etc etc)

On a street car I'd strongly agree, as I'd be wearing the regular seatbelt setup (which I do) and never the harness....but for track events the harness bar is ok.

i dont know how good that statement is.. my harness bar made my car feel much stiffer (vert...)

also ive stopped in emergency stops before and never had any issue with my harnesses feeling loose or sloppy under intense braking.

pretty sure a harness will keep you just as safe as a factory seat belt.. if you get in a 70 mph collision, your going to be in serious pain regardless which seatbelt your using.
