Can anyone tell me if the GM comp seat is actually useful for a 6 point harness?
I've heard that the openings are too low to be effective for a 6' guy.
I have the BK harness bar installed and it is a little too high for the stock seat openings.
I've been swapping a full containment seat in & out of my GS for track days
and it's a bit of a PITA.
If I leave it in, my wife can't drive the car due to fixed seating.
Any feedback is appreciated before I make a $2k investment.

Also keep in mind that the Comp seat will not have the slot for the 6-pt so you'll need to pass them through the rear of the seat and sit on them.
Lastly...The lateral support at the hips will be significantly less than your current seat, even with the harness. Just something to consider.
