CT4-V Harness Bar Recommendation Needed for HPDE

[techdude99]

Please let me know if you have a recommendation for a harness bar. I did a few quick searches and came up empty. Thank you.

IMHO…harness bars are a recipe for disaster.

Use a Simpson Hybrid S and/or get a Scroth 4-point that uses OEM seat belt attachments.

OEM seats are designed to ‘break-away’ in a lay flat position in the event of a rollover. A harness bar would prevent that from happening.

I will second this opinion, If you want to run in a fixed position your better off having a roll bar and a proper racing seat.

Agree with all of this. I've used the Simpson for years. Works great.

I'm willing to accept the risks to get more headroom.

I too would go with the Schroth harness.

any update on this?

I picked up the Schroth harness for the Ford Focus and it was a good fit for our cars.

Nice! I'd love to see how it turned out

I can't find pics from my car since I auctioned it but here is one from another member. It does work with the OEM high performance seats.
