    Default Racing Harnesses on a 4-door?!

    How is it that people can put racing harnesses in a car that has the back doors? I know, people always say that its best to just get a harness bar, either that or take out the back seats. Well, as im currently aware, some 4-door cars do not get the luxury of "Lets bolt in a harness bar and call it a day!". So what would some of you all do if you had a 4-door car, wanted to put racing harnesses into it, and didnt want to install a harness bar? You could take out the back seats..? NOT.

    So what would some of you all out there do if you wanted to have racing harnesses in your car and still retain the functionality and looks of having an actual 4-door car?

    I think your car is too fast for harness', you just need to go with a lot of duct tape.

    BTW: U cant retain functionality of a four door and have racing harnesses...unless u drive without a seatbelt on and then you are just dumb.

    OR...keep the stock belts in and when u have passengers just use them...u shouldnt be "racing" with passengers anyways....my .02

    with a harness bar you can still use the rear seats. It just makes it a little less comfortable for the rear passengers.

    Roll bar, roll cage, or expect injuries in a wreck, the end.

    My guess is you're not going to use proper seats either so I'd just get a G-lock and save your spine. 95% of the harnesses I see are installed wrong and are safety hazards and 100% of them installed without a cage or harness bar are installed wrong. If you're not willing to spend the money to do it right then don't do it at all. It is possible to install them in a 4 door without impeding the rear seats but you're probably going to have to fabricate a harness bar setup and change your seats. And also keep in mind that a harness bar alone is not adequate for any real crashes or anything more than autocross. And if done properly its going to be at least 3 bars.

    They do make harness bars with removable sections. This could allow you to have harnesses for events but then also allow you to remove the bar for daily functionality. Might be an option to consider. Also, it's highly ill-advised to put a full cage in your street car unless you plan on wearing a helmt all the time to keep you skull from cracking on it.
