Default Racing seat question

First off i know this isnt a mustang but i appreciate the help. My friend has a 99 taurus SHO and he wants to put some racing seats in it. I have a few questions. If he does this can he keep the stock seat belts or does he have to get racing harness's. Also if he gets harness's does he need a roll bar to mount them to or can u mount it to the floor or somthing?

thanks for ur help.

I've got racing seats installed in my Ford Focus and the stock seatbelts work just fine. I can't imagine why they wouldn't work for any car. As for the harness, having a roll bar would be the safest and best way to mount them, but I think I've seen certain harnesses that mount to the floor behind the seat.

I have Corbeau racing seats in one of my whips, and I guess you could use factory with them, but my cage made the 5pt harness mo betta. There are a TON of race style seats that use factory seat belts more that use them than those that do not.

They should have brackets available for your app.
