I'm considering upgrading my streetable track BMW M3 (E36) from its stock belts with a CG-lock to the Shroth Quick Fit 4-point harness that plugs into all the existing seat belt mounts.
I'm thinking these are the right upgrade for my program which is essentially DE events until I can afford (time/money) to go racing. Also I'm not sure I'm ready to put a half-cage/race seat and compromise rear seat ingress/egress plus Quick Fit harness retains the stock 3-point belts in front and rear.
Any comments good, bad or indifferent .....before I take the plunge ?

We tried them in Suzanne's car (more old parts from Allan) and we really don't like them (though apparently Allan did).
We now have her Recaro SPG race seat and 6-point Schroth racing belts in the car. She still uses the Schroth 4-point belt for the passenger in the stock seat. RAVEN did a very nice aluminum bracket to mount the race seat and the 6-point belts without cutting into the car. It goes in and out with the seat in 15 minutes.
Do yourself a favour and skip this mod. Use that money to buy a good race seat and just use the stock belts for now. I did that for years. 90% of the improvement comes from the seat not the belts.
When you're ready, you can then go for a roll-bar and a real race harness. Then you don't have to buy new bents twice.
Also, if you do the 4-point belts, you have to buy 2 sets. One for you and one for the Instructor - equal restraint rule. With a seat and 3-point belts, you only have to buy one seat. Both occupants have equal restraint.
