For me personally I’m ok either the “risk”. The way I see it In an accident not only will my head move but so will my body. I’m not looking to strap myself to the seat. I plan to have at least a inch or two between myself and the belt most the time. My head will move no matter the restraints. I have seen harnesses bars that allow you to keep the factory belt which I like simply because I don’t need to remove and store them. (Not that i plan to use it) The reason for my post was mainly to see if anyone knew where to find them at not a ridiculous price. I do appreciate everyone’s input/concern however.

Having first hand knowledge of this...there is nothing wrong with 4/5/6 pt harnesses for street use. I wrecked my Mustang (hit a wall head on a 53 mph) and the harnesses (just a 4 pt) did their job just fine. I didn't even have a stiff neck. The ONLY damage I received was a burn on my forearm from the airbag deploying. My passenger just had a burn on her chin from the airbag as well. Healed completely in 3-4 days. OP go for it and don't look back.

Glad to hear you were ok, I remember when I totaled my first gto my head was loose, but not so bad that it would cause any problems, just loose some.. 
Also I could see how if strapped in real tight your head is like a bobble head lol, on the other hand some space between you and the harness will theoretically provide the 'give' for your entire body to react as one unit per say. this would technically closely represent what you would see on the street with stock seat belts hmm.
