    I am talking about 4 point Takatas which is what 99% of street cars use.

    And arguing at the high price of them, for just about the same quality as anyone else.

    What's FMVSS. If it is 4 point, it's not legal.

    False again. Schroth Ralleye 3 and 4 pt harnesses are 100% street legal when installed correctly.

    It started as a funny story, turned into a hater thread on takata harness prices, then switched seamlessly into a debate on the safety/legality of racing harnesses for street use.

    No it was a hate to $300 4 point harnesses, just because they look cool. Honestly I don't care. Then it turned into saftey things for the price, etc etc. lol

    ^ That's exactly what I said The Cusco comment was a good add-in though. I wouldn't trust one of those either...

    well, aside from preventing you from crushing your head, the OEM 3 pt will also prevent submarining, whereas a 4pt (like the Takata) won't. The Schroth 4pt is able to be DOT because it makes a provision for that on the material of a certain part of the belt. I wouldn't rock a cusco cage because blue is out, pink is the new jdm.
    Please tell me if you think my car looks good. But don't tell me if you think it's ugly - only on IA
