Yes. GT3 specific basically means a difference in the lap belt attachment. See picture. It means you don't have to buy extra hardware (bk) to attach to seat for lap belt to clip to. Downside is if you drive car on street also you can't just remove (unclip) the lap belts for street driving.

The thing is with clipon lapbelts the doorside is easy to remove but the center tunnel is a bitch to remove and reinsert. I just push the belt out the hole and place it on the side. Also if your doing the Hans type the lapbelt is 2 inch diameter which is easy to slip thru the side holes. Mike

Just slip the belts out when not using and pile into the rear floorboard. Super easy. Anti sub/buckle will go between seat cushion and seat and hang in front out of the way. Seat cushion is only held in with velcro. Easy!
Schroth GT3 specific belts are by far the easist install at the expense of some safety/strength. Belts floor mounted to plates are the ultimate but not everyone cares to make the effort. I just did the Schroth specifics in my 2RS (only 20% track) with a BK harness bar but my 3RS (90% track) has floor mounted RaceTech harnesses and Clubsport setup.

I'd say "no" because the belt pictured has a subbelt attachments that may require bolting to the floor which is not possible in an NA car without drilling and reinforcing. (I cannot tell for certain from the picture if the mounts are sewn or wrapped (which means they can be removed and the sub belt wrapped around the sub bar, they look like they are wrapped but I cannot be sure)
As for shoulder length, its difficult to say, but the Schroth's from their site will be full length.
I would go to the schroth racing site directly and obtain a Profil II/III setup which is not foreshortened.
You will also require the Brey Krause GT2 sports bucket sub bars for the seats in order to attach a sub belt to those seats R-9032 and R-9034.

on my race car, everything is bolted welded down.
on my dual purpose car my left and right lap belts have different attachments.
guys, this is a safety item. i dont recommend DIY unless you REALLY know what you are doing. i have seen way too many cars with harness on WRONG.
when you are on track, look at the relationship b/n shoulder belt to the hold in the seat then to the harness, over 1/2 of the cars i see are WRONG. and if you have long torso like me, then you would NEED custom roll bar done. i do mean custom as to made to measure.
there are TONS of harness variations.
1. where you want the buckle to be tied to
2. strap ends
3. pull up or pull down
4. 3" to 2" or just 3' shoulder straps
5. 2' or 3" lap belt
