do i still have full usage of my rear seatbelts if i have the c pillar bar in it?

or does it mean rear occupants have no seatbelts?

yes , its the "C pillar bar" ~ named so since it resides at the two points inbetwwent he C pillar.
You connect it to the rear seatbelt top mounts afaik..

ok u can still use ur seat belts with this bolted in.

only prob is if u use it for a EK, the bar sits jsut in front of the head rest of the rear passenger.

in EGs they rest above and behind the rear seats

it will depend on the cops i assume.

the c-pillar for Eks hatch are quite in the middle of the rear window if u look from outside the car. anything is defective if its blocking the view.

they need to be engineered, and also padded for passenger safety. also. the J's racing bar sits infront of headrest. i got a picture of the sparco one. but i cant tell whether the owner has placed the seats infront of the bar himself or not. have a look

also its best to wrap padding around the bar.. so less hassle with cops? not 100% sure.

there are a few brands out there... so have a search.
