I was expecting a told you so from you Jake. It should be right in the sweet spot where it's mounted now. What belts do you reccomend? Should I bolt them on or wrap?

I would bolt them in. I've also got pretty much the exact same setup that you have. Strangely enough, I ended up with a DSE cage with Tiger Cage cross bar mounts. It looks like you've got it all figured out, but if you need pictures, let me know.

Oh, and it's just my personal preference, but I would run a 3pt belt on the street. I always end up driving with only the lap belts for the 4pts connected because you can't move around if enough if you're just out cruising.

That is exactly why I put 3 points in the car originally. I'm definitely leaning towards bolting in the shoulder belts(For quick removal between events) and using the same anchor points for the lap belts and just laying them in the rear floor board. I would like to see a picture of your set up. Thanks Matt..

I've already got 3 points. I decided to go the route I did originally due to the fact I didn't like the belts hanging from the ceiling as well. I'm going to order a set of simpson belts and call it a day.

schroth profi series. its the best. not cheap, but no harness's are. do at least a 5 point. might as well keep the 3 pt if you are not going to do a 5 or 6 with the sub belt.

Except the Sparco seats cant be adapted to fit the 5th or 6th ball hugger belt/s?

This "might" be interesting?

a track car deserves a track seat, i have seen many a sparco with a sub belt hole.

yep very true... i had a harness bar in my 4th gen for a year and a half and the majority of the time i would just wear the lap belt...(not to safe) you gotta strain your self just to reach the radio controls lol.

yeah todd I've always planed to do just that (run 3 points on a regular basis and just leave the laps on the ground when not in use) if i ever get the camaro running again! you better measure that right!!! haha

I'm with Matt. I hate harnesses on the street. Having an inertia reel three-point shoulder belt is a lot more practical.

I leave the floor-pan bolted harnesses in the car when it's not on the track. The side belts tuck in well between the seat and the side of the floorpan, and the sub goes under the seat.

Really smart idea Todd. Well done.
