What's wrong with your current OEM seat belt? Do you want it to buckle you in by itself?

So....you want an three point belt that's better than OEM? What's wrong with the OEM ones?

I was just wondering if there was something that may be a bit better suited to ocassional track days or aggressive driving..

Oem seems ok for the driveway princesses..

If you want to upgrade your seatbelt then get a 5-point harness. Changing out 3-point ones won't benefit you in any way.

I wouldn't mind an OEM seat belt that worked properly. Mine constantly keeps trying to tighten up while driving, then as soon as I take it off, it lays there and won't retract.

Since you can pretty much replace everything else on the car with after market parts. You figure Simone would have made a firmer seatbelt that retracts properly..

I have a CG Lock, which locks the lap belt. It is not a harness but helps a lot.
