They're expensive because they're green... Better off with sparco or scroth for less than half the money.

^^they are expensive b/c they are good and b/c people will pay that much for them. If you can't afford that much you can't go wrong with some of the other racing harnesses out there.

I would highly recommend going with Sabelt. It is whats used in Formula 1 and WRC.

ive had sabelts in my evo before and it held up pretty nice. I think payin that much for Takata is cuz of name and the reputation of it. No doubt that its a great harness but not nearly $500 for one. Simpson, Shroth or whatever, Sabelt/Sparco, Tom's are all great harnesses and a lot cheaper

All Evo owners already have Takata seatbelts in their cars.
Go check if you don't believe me!
