Best Style Safety Harness?!

Which style safety harness should I get for my car. The car should run 8.50 in the 1/4 when its all done. I am just trying to figure out which style and brand are considered among the best/most comfortable.

I can mount the harness to my roll bar or the floor... which is better?

Also should a get a V style harness or just a standard sperate strap harness!?

Thanks guys

to the cage is definitely without a doubt the best spot for one its stronger and 2 if you get into a crash where u stop very suddenly if the belts are mounted to the floor there at a big angle so its gonna pull you down compressing your spine. but when its on the bars right behind you a little below shoulder height that wont hurt nothin. and the difference between styles there both good it really just depends on preference and style of seats i like the v style myself but thats just me. if you have any more ?'s just ask. -tony-

Check your local IHRA harness laws and requirements regarding your intended speed in the 1/4. This list is long to pass inspection. Don't get a cam button type. Yes they look nice but failure within the button cannot be seen. Get the tried and proven latch lever. You'll always know it's good.

You have to mount them to the cage if you want to be legal.

I have the Simpson latch style, they are pretty comfortable and fairly cheap.

i personally like the cam lock harnesses over the latch style. more money but more convenient.

Floor style is illegal, has been a couple of years. I like the V mounts.
I don't mind the separate belt style, IF you have anti slide mount.
