The Schroth folded/sewn sub straps are worth paying the extra money for over the OMP, IMO. That feature is the single biggest difference between the Profi and other belts - the comfort level on the Profi subs is mega.
Pull-up vs pull-down: The Schroth is reversible, but I always end up running them in pull-down config and then routing the excess belt through the hole in the seat. I use the seat as a pulley to convert the pull-down motion into a pull-up motion. When I set the belts up in pull-up mode, I can never get the adjuster close enough to the buckle to not interfere with the seat. |
Yeah, I was just noticing that. None of the others have easily adjustable substraps (i.e., need to pull the seat to adjust the subs).
|
Wow, I didn't know the OMP offerings didn't have adjustable anti-sub belts.
Most here know how important it is to correctly adjust anti-sub belt(s) for crash safety, and I wouldn't consider a belt that doesn't have easily adjustable anti-sub belts. |
For a single driver, not a big deal -- just a bit of a pain to get right the first time as you'll need to pull the seat a couple of times.
For a passenger seat, mandatory I think. |
For you, you take a lot of people for rides, so it would make things much easier and probably safer to have an Enduro belt in the passenger side. Also, I really just want to ride in your car with the Enduro harness :party:
Some drivers have removable seat cushions they run on the street, and take them out on track days. That's what I'm planning for my Sparco. At least on mine, it's definately thick enough to need to adjust the anti-sub strap after you remove it. I'm sure many people would forget or be inclined to just leave their sub straps alone if they need to remove their seat to adjust them. |

or for passenger side have the seat mounted on a slider and have them slide forward until the 5/6 point is properly adjusted.
Not feasible for me, though -- running an aluminum seat with a really stout, non-adjustable seat back brace. But with a composite seat, absolutely. |

I would highly recommend the turn one harness.
Very high quality and great price. |
My local race shop, MER, had several cars available with these types of harnesses installed. I test-sat in an MX-5 practice car that had Safecrafts on the driver side and a Schroth Pofi-II on the passenger. Both harnesses were light-years beyond the G-Forces, but the Safecrafts won me over. MER cut me a deal on 2 harnesses so there wasn't a huge delta over the Schroth's.
Highly recommend test sits, both for seats and harnesses. |
Good choice. Those are really nice belts.
|
Second the good choice comment, love mine.
|
Sparco has a new Enduro belt and it's crazy cheap.
Sparco 6 Point Endurance FHR Harness Black | Demon Tweeks Sparco 6 Point GT FHR Harness | Demon Tweeks |
God Bless the Brexit!
|
Wow. That looks like a fantastic value.
|
Jeez, that makes me regret buying Schroth harnesses.
Those are 1/3 of the price of Schroth Enduros. |
Never regret getting Schrott polyester compared to nylon. The difference stretch at impact is large (10% vs 30% IIRC).
(Just assuming the Spacing belts are nylon as they have been for ages) |
Meh. For the extra $40/yr, I'll still buy the Schroth with the folded sub strap. You won't understand how big a deal that is until you try the Schroth belts.

Do you think they are long enough to do the same on a bigger guy(6-5" #240) ? We are looking at the Profi II 6H to allow for the Hans option at a later date. Then probably the Profi II 6 for the passenger...I assume this is easier to adjust than the clubman for the passenger? Are those the droids I am looking for? |

So you put the pig tails of the harness through the seat and then pull up on it?
