I got a Status.........pretty comfy for a bucket but a bit pricey!............you can use a 4 or 5 point harness or just the factory seat belts..........and yeah these seats will definitely hold you in place.

I have Sparco Evos that I use w/ the OEM seat belts. I think the OEM belts work okay, I run them through the lap belt hole on the outboard side and over the top of the seat on the inboard side.

i was originally looking at bride zeta III, but was told that using oem belts on a bucket seat is not recommended. also been told sparco fighter, although a bucket, is a street seat. looking into bride ergo or brix II as well. i definitely dont want to get a rollbar to run harnesses as i do use my rear seats on occassion.
