I put maybe due to the fact my cobalt is a daily and I hadnt planned on modding to this extent. Though if I could find some recaro's then id probably be up for this.

Is there a reason why i could run harness with my SS LNF seats? I would consider it if it was 199-299. A tube bent should cost more..

you don't need race seats for this, just race harnesses... You might be able to run 4 point harnesses with stock seats. Has anyone tried? your stock seats work fine for track use if your strapped to them... The point of race buckets is the side to side slide, but if you have good harnesses this doesn't happen. The only thing that will happen is your body will get uncomfortable from being in that position.

I am thinking I could make it for about 400 + powdercoat I could not sell it for that. But volume makes a difference. Talk to Josh and Sean; I do beleive that it could be made so the shoulder belts go over the seat and under the head rest but I gotta go look at the car and figure that out...and you have to figure out what to do with the lap belts...its a pita...

Just look at how the Sparco or AMS bars are made. I believe there bars are designed so that all stock hardware is still in the car and unmoved. Id rather have the bar set up for race seats so that the bar meets up pretty close to where the holes in race seats are.

Just like this \/ ...I wouldn't even recommend using the bar with stock seats.

eggzactly. I think we would bend chrome moly the material cost is more but its safer to use, and marginally lighter if we use slightly smaller diameter. Grade 8 hardware etc. Anything other than a Corvette is a dream to work on for harness bar and seat belt installs. And we do Corvettes daily

Im surprised nobody has yet to produce a quality bar for our cars yet so it would be awesome if you guys were the first. Plus Id rather trust something you guys made than one of these other venders.

Harness bars are made for almost all sport-compacts around so its about time we get ours
