Default Aftermarket seat ?s

My seat was stolen out of my car so I'm thinking I might upgrade. Everyone I know with a set of Brides or whatever puts in a set of harnesses. Can I just use the stock seat belt? If so how does the seat belt clip bolt onto the new seat? Thanks

I don't know that it's possible to use stock seat belts with brides. Why would you want to do that? The best part about having aftermarket seats is the fact that you can use 4/5-point harnesses. They're safer and hold you in place much better. They're also baller

Don't you also need a roll bar so that your car isn't like, a deathtrap? I would just stick with the OEM seats and normal seat belts...

I use stock seat belt with my Bride and it's perfect.

You take the OEM seat belt receptacle off of the OEM seat. Flatten out one piece of steel. Then bolt it to the Bride seat rail.

If you go with a harness, then have to get a roll bar or cage unless you like death traps. But driving with a cage and no helmet is really dangerous.

Why would it be a death trap with a harness but without a roll cage anyways?

the way a stock seatbelt is designed is for your body to be moved to the side in case of a roll over. with harness ou body doesnt move at all, so with out a roll bar/cage you could have spinal damage in the case of a roll.
