Why:

In my case, primarily for track days and ‘Ring trips. Could also be used for “spirited” driving.

A 4-point harness is THE best means of staying put in your seat during the manic action found around a track. Hi speed, hi G cornering can easily have you moving around in your seat, even with the beefiest of bolsters, so this keeps you firmly in place. It will reduce fatigue, assist your control of the car and potentially save you cracking your head on the window/B pillar in the event of you getting it out of shape.

I'll update this review with their full evaluation following my track day Oulton Park next week.

Sourcing

You can order them direct from:

Schroth’s website in Germany
TTS Roadsport Ring Vince, as they're not on their website
Rallynuts

Fitting

Utilises the car’s OEM seatbelt mountings and clips, so not only convenient, but goes in and out in a matter of seconds. Full TUV approval and full compatibility with your car’s existing crash protection systems, as you’d expect.

Other versions

There is no direct comparison in terms of it being a removable harness. A traditional 4-point would have to be hard-mounted to anchor points in the car and there’s not really a suitable solution to doing this in an ‘easily installed & removed’ way.

The only other thing to consider would be a CG Lock, but that’s an entirely different product.

Plus Points

The full security and control of a 4-point race harness that can be installed and removed in a matter of seconds to your OEM seats. Need I say more?
No need for buying those expensive ‘optional’ Recaro CS seats.. ha ha!

Minus Points

Cost @ £135 delivered compared to a fixed one at half the price. Although the same harness fits a multitude of VAG cars, so could cross over to your next purchase quite easily.

Summary

I was over the moon when I found these as I was going to take the plunge on a fixed 4-point, I’m sure if you want to use your car in a similar way I do mine, you’ll feel likewise.

I’ll post some pics of them fitted ASAP, but here’s the idea…

chungster:
how do you fit the door side of the harness to provide a buckle attachment? screw in something??

RedRobin:
....

Sounds great but do they fit these? : -



And also chungster's question about door side fixings.

tony_danza:
Chungster, I've attached a picture - there's 2 'tabs' that remain a permanent fixture in the car, they bolt into the existing seatbelt mounting points.

RR - yes, you'll need to undo the shoulder straps to feed them through though.
