I finally received my Schroth quick fit Pro (initially they sent me the wrong/passenger side). I removed the passenger and back seats for weight reduction at track days (125lbs saved with that and the wheels/tires) and then I installed the 4 point harness after since access became much easier.

I didn't need to bend the brackets when I attached them to driver seat side bolt that holds the seat belt tensioner or the rear seat belt bolt by the window side as described in some installation manuals on Schroth's website..
.It was fairly straightforward but it won't be plug and play like the Focus RS model as no additional adaptor at the tensioner(door) side. I will simply remove the rest of it from the 3 points and put them in one of those helmet bags and tuck them underneath the seat when I am done with it.

I previously had 3 point and 6 point Schroth ASM harnesses but after I learned the E90 fitment works on our cars, I decided to give it a shot for a convenient harness solution that works with a HANS device. Besides with the bucket seats , harness bar, slider, seat base and side mounts..they all adds up, I measured the weight at 53lbs even without the hardware (vs 55lbs with OEM seats) so no real weight savings were there for me .. Also this would be much easier for me to turn the car to stock to give my kids a ride which is not possible with a metal harness bar in the back seat

In one of the below photos, I tried to show how it would like with a HANS device (NecksGen Rev2 ) and I didn't pay attention to align them well to get a quick photo. The angle of the rear attachments don't look too steep to my eyes (maybe because our Recaros don't sit too high like the GT350s and other cars) so it didn't bother me ..but of course YMMV and try it at your own risk. I liked this solution better than my Schroth 3 point ASM harness that I had in the previous car.












In the below video the guy explains the different types of quick fit pro harnesses, installation, how the ASM works and why the 4 point ASM system might be safer than OEM 3 point seat belt system in case of a roll over. You will notice that the Focus RS model has an additional adaptor which makes it completely removable (which the E90 model lacks)

As always USE IT AT OWN YOUR RISK

Nice! You should add a rear seat delete (at least the top half) to prevent buffeting, it is terrible in this car with the seats down.

I made one out of Masonite and some fabric for under 30 dollars.

This looks like a great solution.

I don’t understand why it’s not plug and play though. Can you explain more?

Does it not work like video?

[CDFF]

Ok I think I understand now... the e90 option doesn’t have a buckle on left side of the driver seat right? But the focus rs does...

Anyone tried the one for the focus rs?

As I'm only be using like this at the track (will reinstall the back seats after each event), I want to see how it goes first.. I am just trying to add any more weight as this is a track only situation, if it bothers me though, I might think about that

Good question
.
You may talk with them and ask maybe? If they confirm that the buckles are the same size with focus RS maybe?

Fair enough, however my Masonite board weighs 14 ounces lol.

+20 on this!! Last October I took my seats out because i was dropping the car off for a cage after an event. The buffeting was so offensive that my instructor wanted to get out.

14 ounces? Please do explain the last one I saw was about 15-20lbs if it helps with that I would love to do that as well. Thanks again

: thumb: I will do something about that then so do we what actually causes that? Is it because top portion causes extra room for turbulence or something since the air gets in all the way to the trunk or just the exposed metal ?

I think you would really only need to cover the area where the seatback is.

Thanks, I think so too..
After thinking about it, I think I might have found an quick and easy solution (or a dumb one). So 14 ounces saved maybe?

I used the existing trunk mat, upside down, put a small hole with a center punch and zip tied it to the hook where the backseats connects, added a couple velcro pieces to connect the trunk mat in place ( velcro pieces can be reused haha)

I will report back if it does the job

I was reading thru this and thought: why not the e92 system instead of the e90? As the e92 is a coupe and the e90 is a sedan

[BlueinTN]

For safety its all about the angles of the belts.


Watch those Schroth videos they might explain it better.

Because some other forum member mentioned E90 system fits in our Camaros. I never really paid attention to that honestly

Yes, I have watched all of them.

Honestly; this is inherently dangerous, there are at least two other threads with formal responses from scroth specifically recommending against using a E90 harness; due to the angle and spine compression in the event of a wreck

This is not meant to confrontational, but run at your own risk
