Harnesses with factory seats
#21
As the folks here have stated harnesses are for race seat.
Mix and match very much at your own risk.
However I understand the urge as harnesses are snuggly (maybe i should tighten them) and race seats are uncomfortable for a long commute.
For regular seats you could do a lot worse than the CG lock device. It allows you to get a somewhat snug lap belt tension whilst maintaining the variable belt helpful stuff.
Its not a harness but its far more snug than a normal belt.

These seats are far more comfortable than you might imagine just looking at them.

These are not full containment road racing seats but they will serve you well for a dual duty car. They are not as cumbersome or difficult to get in and out of as a full road race seat but still offer far better than stock containment and structure.

Wow those are shockingly inexpensive.
The reason I'm so interested in reclineable seats is that my low back really likes to complain on long drives (spondilolysthesis). Changing the angle every so often helps.
It's not as bad now as before, thanks to regular, strict-form deadlifts and squats, but still :-p
So I guess, reclineable seats weak in rear enders?

Anyone have thoughts on the Simpson hybrid HANS?

And would it add much neck protection if car has Air Bags.
By thoughts I mean relative to effectiveness, not cost / benefit perceptions

Andrew's post is the only correct answer. You asked, you got a clear answer that unfortunately conflicts with your budget or motivation level. Your problem, not ours.
Do yourself a favor and don't try to rationalize or reason a solution outside of that.
All OEM. Simpson Hybrid-S HNRS optional (3 pt compatible)
OR
full race car, I.E: 4 pt 1.75" DOM mounted at shock mount plate and bulkhead corner, 5 or 6 pt FIA harness (properly anchored), HNRS, fixed position FIA seat, no airbag, fire extinguisher, Snell 2015 full face helmet with visor down /and or eye protection, driving suit, shoes, gloves
The folks that have died in HPDE over the last 15 years have all, without exception, mixed OEM and partial and/or improperly installed race car driver safety equipment.
