you should use a roll bar, anything more then a 45 degree angle from the holes in the seat increases your risk of spinal compresson in a wreck. attaching them to a strut bar or the back seatbelts is NOT safe

ive got mine bolted into the stock locations on the sides of the seat, and the rear is secured where the back seatbelt retractor was. i just use this for autox and nothing else, nothing where id have the chance of flipping over (no rollbar)

^^ word. in auto-x, harnesses arent really for safety anyway, theyre to keep your *** from moving around too much.

I always attach the lapbelt to the front seat lapbelt points and the shoulder straps to the rear seat lapbelt points. I also use belts that distribute the load for the shoulder straps across two mounting points.
