I wanted to do the same thing and im sure you know you cant mount it to the floor, because if you wreck the seatbelt will snap your shoulders. I was talking to the shop i get all my work done at about it and they said i would have to completely strip out my back seats in order to do it without the harness bar. Not much help but its just an idea.

Mount to the rear lower seatbelt mount points.

That is just what I was going to suggest. Get a Schroth Rallye 4 and use the seat belt mounting points under the back seat.

^^ what he said. lowers seat belt mounting points by the bottom of your seat + the seat belt mounts behind your back seat.

What kind of harness do you have?

If you have a Takata, Willans, or any harness with spring loaded hooks, you can mount the two long straps to the child seat anchors in the rear. If your long straps have brackets with holes (normal) then you should just mount them to the seat belt mounts in the rear. Really easy, takes about 10 minutes. Just make sure you put everything back together they way it came apart!

The two short straps can be mounted to the seatbelt mounting points on the side door side of the seat, and the center storage side of the seat. I would recommend taking the center storage piece out during the install to give you some room.

see i was kind of afraid to put them on the baby seat hooks in fear that they would break away in heavy impact because i weigh 200 lbs a baby weighs 10 -20 lbs

I have a Shroth Racing 4pt Rallye 3 harness. I used the upper rear shoulder belt anchors for the rear anchor.

It did involve takng out the back seat and pulling apart much of the rear window deck to get everything installed correctly. Considering this was about the safest 4 point solution and the fit Schroth's install specs I figure it was time well spent. Track days are risky enough without improperly installed safety gear.
