Default 5 point harness - seat bar

I ordered a seat bar to attach my (95 c4 coupe) 5 point harness, I attached it to the front two seat studs but it seems the lap belts are too far forward (stock seats), is that correct? I cant see room to mount it to back studs with eye hook for 5th (crotch) belt.

Using a harness with stock 95 seats isn't good. The seats are too wide where the shoulderbelts wrap around and in a frontal impact they could slip off your shoulders.

The C4's that come thru my tech line (SCCA) for a track event with this setup will be told to use the stock belts and not the harness.

Mounted to rear bolts, things are good now. Taking recommendations for race seats that are direct fit.
