the angle of the shoulder harness looks pretty unsafe to me.

having it so low can cause spinal compression in a crash. Schroth recommend at most 20 degrees from level.

Is this even safe, racing gear like that has expiration dates.

It’s only meant to hold me in the seat at autocross. Our autocross surface is completely flat and very open, so there’s no worries of a rollover. I’m not wearing these on the street.

Whats stopping the shoulder straps from sliding around and giving you friction burns?

I mean, it an excuse to get a half cage and proper racing seat right?

Not when you have rare interior panels like mine, and want to still have a street car with back seats, and no racing seats math my interior.

I deal with the friction burns.
