I currently have a schroth quick-fit pro, which can be upgraded to 5 or 6 point easily. So getting seats and adding the at least the 5 point to that should be simple. Wouldn't need a harness bar for that at all, since they already secure on the stock parts, but I could be very wrong.

Thanks!

In terms of suspension though, the research I've done suggests that the RS1 is the preferred setup, including from people who previously had the KW CS setup. But the RS1 also by itself isn't a complete kit since it doesn't come with springs, so you'd have to choose those separately.

This is what I'm looking for in seats,bit more of feel what the car is doing since I wouldn't be flying around all over the place.

This +1, even with the quickfit it's just not enough I think.

Even with the quick-fit pro, my upper body is secure enough, but my lower body, legs are still bracing on the door or in the center console depending on turn.

I work from home most of the time, while it is my "daily" I don't have long commutes, even going to the office is a mere 7 miles away, and when we do have long drives, there's another car for that. The longest drives I take are to and from the track, such as Sebring 3 hours, and PBIR 2 hours (no trailer yet).

Thanks for the input.

I'm using a CG lock with the stock seats and it helps a lot over the stock setup. Just a suggestion if you decide to keep your stock seats.

I've heard this allot, but have not experienced it yet.
