I put a set of RECARO's in the car for the track season, but stick with the 3 point belts as I have the airbags in the car active, and haven't put a full cage in so I prefer to be able to duck a bit if the car were to go over. Even without the 6 point belts I don't move around in the seats, they are far to tight for that to happen!

I Agree. A three point allows some torso movement to duck and protect your neck in a crash or rollover. Once you are locked in with a 6pt harness your neck becomes the weak link.
