I'm about to give up on the Schroth QuickFit Pro harnesses for our cars this season. I'm not really interested in the Rallyes as a substitute.

I'm now wondering if it would work to install fixed-back Recaros, Sparcos, Racetechs, etc., and then use the QuickFit Pro with those seats. Since the E92/E90 harnesses are on indefinite hold, would an E46-spec QuickFit Pro work in our cars with a fixed-back racing seat?

I know that a full 5- or 6-point harness would be more ideal with dedicated race seats, but my car is a daily-driver sedan that normally holds child seats in the back, so a rollbar or half-cage is not possible. I did see a guy at NJMP who had a custom-fabricated harness bar in his 335xi sedan that mounted to the B pillars and had a removable center section for "normal"/domestic daily driver-mode. But I would worry about the strength and integrity of that harness bar given that it is segmented/removable and not fixed...

Any thoughts? Has anyone in a similar situation come up with a solution?
