Joe, are those 3 Point or 4 Point Harnesses? And can you take pics of your mounting points as well? Can not tell from the pics, but have you removed the factory seat belts, or have your retained them for the time being?

for some reason I thought your car interior was blue as well. I guess I'm getting it confused with that widebody tC.

need mounting pics. I have 4 points coming in, and just curious to know where you strapped them down at. And if the factory belts are still in? If not, got a DIY on a clean removal of them?

Yeah they are, milano 2's

Also mine were packaged and considered 4 points...

I took a look and the oem front seatbelt mounts had airbag sensors attached to them, so I left them in place.. Not sure what all the sensor controlled. So they are just flat against the sides of the car. I also may mount my factory belt latch to the seat brackets so I can use the oe 3 point for the kids or wife...

Wonder if those sensors are for the Side airbags. We didn't get that option in ours so, I wonder if we have the same sensors. I will have to check. What about the back? Where did you attach the back of the harness to?

They mount to the rear seatbelt bolts as instructed by sparco. Kinda a method to it, you will have to read the manual when you get it.

Yeah identical to mine. The feel of the seats are awesome (material wise).

I had a side air bag sensor on my IS300, and when I installed these seats it disabled my airbag system. However, I had ordered from TRD Japan the side airbag cancellor and it just plugs in place completeling the circuit, turning off the light and enabling the rest of the air bags.

Yeah I have to agree.... however the lumbar even on the lightest setting can be a little harsh on the back. Have to get used to it. Good seat though. I just made a 1000+ mile round trip to the Roswell NM show, After that, All other seats feel like crap to me haha!


Good to know.. will have to check into that.

Yeah that lumbar definitely takes some getting used to. I have had mine in the car for about a year now.

Partial sponsorship from Corbeau, so they will be Corbeau belts. But I'm sure they all suggest the same mounting surface.

Yeah pretty steep, but not as crazy as some others.

I plan on a semi cage setup, nothing to hard core yet. I guess the AutoPower one will do us fine for now.

Pulling on them was my idea haha!

But as for the mounting points, the rear seat belt bolts are at too much of an angle and can cause spinal injury in an event of a roll over. I'll take better pics within the hour and show you how you're supposed to do it, so your life isn't at risk .
