Installing street-legal 4-point harnesses in the Evo (Schroth)

I posted a write-up on how to install Schroth 4-point harnesses in the Evo. These are one of the few DOT legal harnesses that you can buy, and they do not require a harness bar. Enjoy.

The whole purpose of these Schroth harnesses is that they are designed for street cars without rollbars.

The risk with a standard harness is that they hold you upright when the car rolls, breaking your neck. With the Schroth, there's a portion of one shoulder belt that actually lengthens under a hard impact which, along with the fact that there is no crotch belt, will give you room to slump.

If you want a harness, these are the only one to consider with out a rollbar.

i see someone did his research im running these as well due to no cage at the moment. my cage will be done shortly soon and i think that i might switch up the harnesses to some solid 3" after that

Thanks Jeller. I updated the software behind the site and didn't have time to back through all of my previous posts. Glad the instructions helped.

(Only 13 days before I leave for Targa -- my car is in Toronto right now changing transporters for the haul out to Newfoundland)
