As previously mentioned, 4pt belts are not all that great. 5pt are safer than 4 imho, but uncomfortable. If you are going with harnesses, go with 6pt.
PCA has never allowed modification of a seat to allow the use of harnesses, and that applies to the passenger seat in a GT4 also. To put a harness on the passenger seat you would need a new seat. Keep the stock seat belt on that side and use you driver side three point when you have an instructor in the car with you.

I don't want to turn this into a H&N restraint thread, but I purchased the Scroth unit, and I totally recommend it for larger drivers... 3 out of 4 guys in our endurance race team have the Scroth unit now, and the 4th has a HANS. It just works well and is less fussy with fitment.
Hope that helps...

Schroth HNR Flex. Also, much easier and cheaper to mount a race seat into the passenger side and swap it in and out if need be. That way you do not need to cut up your beautiful bucket!

No fence about harnesses -- get the 6pt.

I'm very happy with the Cantrell harness/roll bar and their GT4 subbelt mounts. Great fitment and easy to install yourself. They even have excellent installation instructions w/picts. I also recommend HANS and the Schroth Profi II - 6 pt harness "GT3" version. The GT3 version has the eye bolt connectors on the ends of the lap belts which connect in-place on the GT3/GT4 bucket seats (LWBS). I have an extra one of these harnesses (in black) for sale (sell $449, reg $549), purchased earlier this year - expires in 2021.
Note that some Head and Neck restraints may scuff your seats. I have had NO issues using the HANS. It has recessed screws and no sharp edges.
Feel free to PM me with any questions.

I have a GT4 with full buckets and am running Schroth 6 point belts with a Cantrell roll-bar and sub-belt mount. I had a 30 degree HANS and found it was not compatible with the seats. It pushed my head down. Bought a Schroth and it greatly helped. The Schroth 4 point you originally posted is specifically PCA approved for our cars and I think it is a good option.
