Hmm I always imagined bucket seats to be more comfy and snug. I have a friend who just bought some Sparco Evos, I'll sit in them to see how they are.
My problem with the belt is the fact that it presses on one shoulder only. I assume the harness will be adjusted tight, but to my limits, not to annoy me.

Of course, I'm talking out of my a** atm, I never tested either... I'll test some before buying. Thanks for the tips.
Just afraid you'll be disappointed - spend few hours in Sparcos - it's different than sitting in them for few mins - you get pressure on your butt that at some point may become painful. Also, remember harness will not extend / retract like seatbelts do - so you either have restrained movements or it will be too loose to protect you in case of accident - especially in a car with airbag - if you end up too much forward during airbag deployment, you will end up either dead or severely messed up.

I don't have any issues with the rear belt connections to the child safety restraints.
Sorry to necro-thread, but I very much doubt the mounting points are certified to 6000lbs for 10 seconds like seat belts mounts are. The max weight of car seat occupant is what 30lbs? A typical male is >150. I bought '17 seatbelt female to swap out on my '19 so I can run the 4-point harness. Admittedly it's not installed just yet.
