Hey Adam:
The price asked by the seller is pretty competitive, i think most other products are a little more expesive depending on the brand you look at ofcourse. That seller looks like a guy you can probably trust, his selling a lot of other car products on the site and has a pretty good rating. Looks pretty trust worthy, but upto you in the end. Good Luck and happy shopping.

Cheers

Looks like a set I took out of a STI not long a go. They were fine and seemed to work okay. I only changed them because I wanted to have a Y sub belt and wider harnesses for more comfort. The price is definatly cheaper than the 200 plus the simpons I installed cost.

Check to see if they have an SFI or FIA rating. If not then they should be considered just "occupant restraints" and not true safety devices. this means they will hold you in place during "racing" conditions but may not adequately protect you in a crash. If that is the case, just be sure to wear your normal seatbelt to be more than safe.

Very true Xman. Even with sfi or fia ratings I still wear the factory lap belt in addition to the harness when on the road and on the track.

As I alway say " Have Fun Play Safe"

Do you know Potter , Ramerez and Chris? They are a blast. What a bunch of just great people. Truely desreved the Humanitarian Award they got at this years one lap awards banquet. They helped out a lot of one lappers in need along the way. Actually now that I think about it it seems they were always close by when someone broke down on the road.....odd.... I wonder.

hehehe, I met him when he had a 24v GTi... I had one too and saw him at a local meet. Now, I saw him again running his STi at a local AutoX in San Diego and then driving an R32 at the last AutoX... great guy. Gave me good tips for my first autox
