best harness? willans 3 inch. Either 4 point or 6 point your choice. Should be under $400.

RPM 5 point from Revolution Race gear, $150. My friend bought one recently. Probably have a 4 point aswell.

[Beer Baron]

they are a good price. but I wouldn't neccisarily say they are the best. I don't see any RPM harnesses in F1, or WRC etc...

I use a 6 point Sparco bought from R & R speedsport. I always try and buy as much from them as they are nice helpfull people and not the Revolution rip-offs.

yeah R+R are tops. nice guys. i don't think they do sparco stuff any more though which is a shame they used to be the syd sparco distributors.

Does R & R have have a website etc? I prefer not to buy from rip off places either and support the good retailers.

willans 3inch 4pt looks the go, cheers BB

There's a guy on ebay doing Autotechnica Monza 3" 6-point FIA harnesses for $170, dated 'til end of 2011. I bought the updated model (same thing, as far as I can tell, just a newer homologation) and it's great. Quality seems spot-on. Ok to be used as a 4-point, as far as I know . . . . ?

[Gts-t]

Cheers man but im going to go the willans one.

They make 3 different 4pt ones tho and im unsure which one would be best.

Im thinking the club 4x4, but the supersport and silverstone look good too.

Thoughts?

[Beer Baron]

club is what you want. the silverstone is for open wheels and is NOT suitable for use in a sedan. the supersport is more suited to road use as it has a normal type buckle instead of the cam-lock quick release the club has.

not sure if race and rally have a website. if you are in sydney just go and check them out. they are in greenacre.

Being in the middle of the tarmac rally season Benson Motorsports have 3" FIA ones for $250 delivered and dated for 5 years.

Thanks for the heads up mate, though because i dont mind wasting money i think ill go the willans.

Im tempted to go with the supersport with the normal seat belt but then again maybe it wont perform as well as the club.

I think the club is the go, cheers fellas

Generally the more your spend the softer the belts and light the buckles... so its no bad thing to fork out extra!

[Beer Baron]

super sport is ok if you want to use it on the street too, as the buckle is approved for road use. but personally I don't use my harness on the street anyway so i use one with a quick release cam-lock.

[Gts-t]

Hmm thats a tough choice, i know i wouldnt mind using it on the road

[timma]

im going willans to. the guys at revolution race gear have just got the new willans 6 point harnesses in stock. pretty sure they do 5 point to but may aswell go 6 point

[timma]

i was also told that most race tracks are trying to phase out the seatbelt clip style harnesses for track use

[Hardman69]

I did it for 5 days after Phillip island last week - It's RUBBISH! If you've got the shoulder straps done up anywhere near tight, then You can't head-check over your shoulder. NOT COOL ! ! Plus, it's just a pain, to unclip the harness, and have to loosen off the lap-belt, and re-tighten it every time you get in the car.
