rear mounting points are the toughest. Also any belt will work. Why do you want one though?

Mount a harness bar right behind the front seat and go with Bobby's belts.

Leave the stock ones there for daily driving. Unless you properly fasten and tighten the harness every time, it is more dangerous that using the stock belt. And unless your legs are short or your arms are long, if you're properly secured you won't be able to do thing like reach the radio...

I have a set of WR seats that I got to fit in the SVX... I do not daily drive with them though... I will swap in the WRX driver seat for auto-x's because it has MUCH better lateral support
