Quick question, Can I safely runa 6 point harness with the stock seats, or is it going to be significatly safer with race sears. As in, should I order and install a 6 point harness and just be patient in finding the right seats, or should I do them both at the same time.

thats the ideal situation, but you can do harnesses with stock seats if you have to. i did that for a little while

Because I was thinking about putting in harnesses and running them just for the october event, then having the seats in before the next event, which may not be until after the winter. That would give me plenty of time to find the right seats.

I think so, I'm still figuring out when my schedule works out with the guys at bimmerworld, but I might be able to do it at the end of this week or hopefully at least right before the october event.

Ok, I have a new question for u homies. I think I want recliners for the Tona because it will be on the street way more then the track. How safe are 4-points? If I get a bar later on acan I use a 4-point in HPDE, Auto-x, AND the street safely?

Dont use 4-point belts. In a frontal impact you can 'submarine' under them and cause major damage.

4 point belts are worse than OEM belts and DO NOT run harnesses on the street.

Why do they push this junk then? Is there any real way to fit a 5 point to a recliner?

cool, that should be really easy. I think this was discussed earlier in this post but I wanted to clarify.
