Default Best Safety Harness for stock Seat?

Which 5 point safety harness do you guys recommend for using stock seats? Are the one's that wrap around in the back NHRA legal? I'm planning on getting one with a cam lock to make life easier, but which one?

Negative. These non-power cloth seats aren't all that heavy anyway. Maybe later down the line.

Man, everybody must be running stock seatbelts with their cages. Guess I'll be a pioneer and order a 5-point.

I really like my CROW 5 pt with cam lock. And since you have a TA with the movable headrest it will be alot better fitting than a camaro w/ a stock seat.

I installed RCI harness in the car a few weeks ago. Seem to work great.

I got the Y type design and wrapped it around the bar. Ran the shoulder straps through the headrest. Used the the stock seatbelt bolts for the side straps and the wolfe crouch bar for the lower strap, but if you have a welder you can make your own.

I was able to keep the stock belt for street driving.

This is exactly what i did only i bought G-FORCE and i made the wolfe style crotch strap. i had to drill the brackets for the side straps from 1/2 to 9/16 so the stock shoulder bolts would work. also i cut the bottom plastic off the stock belt mounts for added clearance. by doing that i was able to piggy back the 5PT and the stock belt.
