Default Any 4 or 5-Point Harnesses for CTS-V???

Does anyone have a good set up for 4-5 point harnesses for the CTS-V? It's difficult to drive on a road course when one is sliding about in the seat.

I installed 2 CG Locks. ran one two day terack event, and they worked great.

While not a direct answer to your question, they may be a good 'light weight alternative.

Found an answer (I think) Schroth has 4 point harnesses that work via the back seat belt attachments. Only two very discreet bolt-in pieces (at stock seat belt mounitng points) to add. Great thing is the actual 4-points are removable by simpel click of attachments when the car is a "daily driver".

None specific for CTS-V (yet) but plenty available for BMW, Subaru, etc. so hopefully one of those will fit nicely or we can get Schroth to make a set for the V.

Here's the link to Schroth. The application in the photos is a BMW but the idea is perfect IF we can get one to fit the V properly.

Quick Update:

Schroth can easily make harnesses for the V. You need to send them two(2)
seat belt extensions from a Cadillac dealer for each side or a total of four extensions for driver and passenger side. Upon receiving extensions, they will make the harness(es) for you. Just tell them what color (black, blue, red or silver).

There are two versions, the "Quick Fit" and the "Quick Fit Pro". The Quick Fit Pro uses a cam lock allowing a 5th point (crotch belt) to be hooked in should you opt to install it. You'll need a mounting anchor for the 5th point (anti submarine crotch belt) similar to the one below:

Hope this helps! As soon as I get this done, I'll get some photos up.

Nikon:

Schroth needs the buckles, not the webbing. Seems Caddy has a bit different buckle.

By the way, the seat belt extensions are FREE from any Cadillac dealer!

Schroth has two versions one is the Quick Fit Pro ($300 per side) and the Quick Fit ($225 per side). Qucik Fit Pro uses a cam lock which will allow an anti-submarine crotch belt and is compatible with a HANS device.

Pictures when done!

Chef:

Simply pick up the seat belt extesnions from your Cadillac dealer and send those to Schroth. They'll have them ready in a few days.
