Had a Recaro SPG in my 944's and LOVED it. I now have a Sparco Evo2+ (the tall seat) and its ok, but because its wide, and I'm not so wide its not the most supportive.

I've used many harnesses and I'll rank them in order of ease and comfort.
1) Gforce 6 points
2) Gforce 5 point
3) Sparco 5 points
11ty billionth) Takata's.... I hate them!

^ kevin that's even worse man. i hope you're using schroth ASM 4-point.

i'm using a buddy club bucket with sparco 3" camlock 6 point. the 5/6th point feels weird but i'm worry free with it. worse case scenario if i crash, i'll lose the abilityy to reproduce

Takata Harnesses here... surprise! For those who don't know, Takata is a global manufacturer of seat belts and air bag safety equipment for OEMs worldwide. Many people don't realize that their street driven cars already have Takata seat belts and airbags. See for yourself... check the tag! Takata racing harnesses are the best available on the market. Okay.. commercial over.

Also I use Bride seats. When buying a seat I suggest getting one with supports on the side of you helmet. As I found out recently, these come in really handy in a side impact.
