Anti-sub mounting

Darren, that is how mine are installed, but I'm not sure what you mean that the sub belts are working line a 5-point. Do you mean the two sub straps are so close together that they feel like one belt in the middle?

Yes, exactly. The purpose of the split subs is really to prevent the driver's hips from rotating in the case of an accident. They are too close together, and also mounted too far forward. To function as a proper 6-point, from what I've read and been told, the sub straps should be mounted behind the driver's spine, go through the seat, and wrap up around the thighs. This effectively cups the driver's hips. It wouldn't be sufficient in our case to mount the belts further towards the rear of the car because then the load would be on the seat itself.
