Hi Gents, I need some advice for track seats that are bearable for limited street use aswell. Also, After 5pt harness is installed does the driver have to be fully strapped in for street use? This seems like a pain.

Keep the stock belts for street use, most 5 pts arent DOT legal anyway.

To my knowlege, the only DOT approved "Harness" is a 4 point Schroth harness, which uses 2" webbing. I don't think this would be the best thing for DE's. I use a 5 point 3" harness for DE's and stock 3 points for street. The harnesses snap in and out in 5 minutes. And yes, harnesses on the street get old real quick, ask me how I know.

Can you use 5 point with stock seats, or since there is no hole for the sub belt do you need to go to 6 point? On a 6 point where do the front straps mount?

My car sees limited street use, just nice days and fun runs, but the Sparco Evo 2's have been just fine. They are far more comfortable than the factory seats. I drove to Hershey and it was no problem. Getting in and out is a bit more "exercising", but it doesn't bother me.
Best investment I've made to the car. On the street I use the stock belts and of course 5-points harness for track duty.

That clear's it up. Everyone keeps the stock belts for street use. I'll check out the Sparco Evo 2's.

You could put a fixed back seat on the driver side and a Monza on the passenger side to allow access to the back seat.
