Harnesses 101: Choosing the Right Safety Setup for Street & Track

If you’re upgrading your seats for serious driving, it’s time to talk harnesses. More than just a cool race look, a proper harness setup is key to safety and control—especially when pushing your car to the limit.

1. Why a Harness?

A racing harness secures you in place far better than a factory 3-point seatbelt. It reduces unwanted movement, keeps your posture consistent through corners, and enhances your sense of control behind the wheel.

2. 4-Point vs 5-Point vs 6-Point

4-Point: Great for street/track hybrids. Simple and functional.
5-Point: Adds an anti-submarine strap for added security.
6-Point: The gold standard for motorsport use—maximum restraint and safety.

3. Street-Legal vs Track-Only

Not all harnesses are road legal. If you're daily-driving your build, make sure you choose an ECE-approved harness or maintain your OEM seatbelt for road use. For track-only setups, go all-in with FIA-rated options.

4. Installation Matters

Harnesses are only safe when installed correctly—with proper mounting points or a roll bar/cage. Avoid mounting to seat rails or weak anchor points. Need help choosing the right setup? We’ve got you covered.
