I'm looking for a 5pt harness (or 6pt) that will work with my stock STi seats. I'd prefer not to put in the shoulder brace bar between the B pilars and instead connect into the rear seat belt locations. What are my options? Also, I'd love to see how this would look if anyone has pics.

THANK YOU

Without a sub belt hole in the stock STi seats, you can't really properly mount a sub belt on a 5/6 point harness. Running it over the end of the seat is not a good way to do it since it puts the camlock at an angle it is not designed for. You'd be better off going with a 3 or 4 pt harness like what is available from Schroth. Their Rallye belts have a unique asmŽ system, which reduces the risk of submarining. These belts are also DOT street legal. More info here... http://www.soloracer.com/schroth.html

and according to Schroth, their seatbelts aren't DOT legal in our cars since it's not listed in their compatable vehicle list??

anyways...

I run a 4pt Sparco/Sabelt harness w/ the shoulder belts clipped into eyebolts that I installed at the rear seat lapbelt locations. However, in order to get proper thread penetration, the driver and center seatbelt buckle assembly had to be removed, so there's only 1 functioning rear seatbelt. I also had to remove teh driverside B-pillar trim panel cover in order to mount the left lap belt (it's ither remove, or cut a hole in trim panel or carpet).
