Just got my seats in today. Brackets are coming in next week. I still don't know which harnesses to use. I want Takata, but too expensive.

hold the the seats between your feet firmly and then try twisting the back rest, if it twists easily then, you know what kind they are and if they don't twist you have the good kind.the ones i saw , i did the same to them and they twisted like there was no tomorrow.

Yes I had the kevlar ones, they dont twist or flex at all. ONly thing I dont like about them is that the shoulder bolsters kinda hits the door panels. I was using the Bride FG rails with it, even though I can adjust it from left to right for about 10-15 mm it still hits the door panels.

Where did you get yours from?

Yea, that was me, we picked up your old Tokicos.

I can't really say how much I got these for since I get a "friendly" discount at High End (shop in my sig). Give them a call and say Simoun sent you.
