I need a harness.
I got the C5 seats finally(thanks FastcashDave). Now I need a harness. What's a good racing harness to use? What are you guys using? I saw a few different lengths being offered too.
I heard Simpson started up again? Worth the price?
Also advised to get "cam-locks"?
Opinions?

How do you plan on mounting them? Do you have a bar behind the seats? i like my sparco 3 points, seem to work well, definately hold me in the seat and I'm 6'3 with new seat foam and I still fit fine. The 5 point harness "submarine belt" is pretty unnecessary unless you're racing in a c3, a 3 or 4 point is pleanty to hold you down. Mine have a single buckle right in the center of your lap, very comfortable, and for a harness, very easy to get in and out of. I can even (and i often do) just wear the lap belt and i just push the shoulder straps to the sides. A tip, they make harnesses that have a second buckle for the shoulder straps. This will allow you to unbuckle the harnesses and easily tip your seats foreward.

After much agonizing, I decided on G-Force camlocks. They were half the price of the Simpsons. A deciding factor for me was the fact that they sponsor a friend's car...
No pictures. Haven't installed them yet.

Don't have that problem LOL, mine have been in the box for quite some time..maybe the expiration date is already over.
I thought re-certification was pretty reasonable if you send them to simpson. Do you just buy new ones?

Our speed shop sells off outdated harnesses quit cheaply. I am lucky in that they are laying around here from the race teams and I got both of mine from them. They buy new each year.

Seats might be in but the interior might not be finished.
You're certainly welcome anytime.

I think the one I need is the "individual" which will wrap around the bar in the back.
I read in some of the descriptions that the "G-force" are "wrap around or bolt-in". Most of the other don't specify.
