Yeah, I already have a message out to my local race shop, who is a Schroth dealer and will ask Schroth if they don't already know the answer.

Just thought maybe somebody on here might have an idea off-hand.

Is that harness for an F32? I was told Schoth doesnt have one for a 2 series/M2 yet.

Any reviews and/or feedback from Schroth regarding spinal injury fixing in the rear seat?

Found this...looks alright

The E82/E92 will mount right up. You may need to modify the plastic cap that goes over the lap belt mount on the floor. That's what I did. You'll see once you get it.

Keep in mind this info is ONLY for the OG M2, and not for the M2C. The M2C does not have a detachable headrest and does not support any kind of harnesses.

Quick Fit Pro

I have the Quick Fit Pro which works quite well. Takes only seconds to hook up at the Track. It holds me in the seat much better than the OE 3 point. However what I don't like about it is the connection from rear seat buckles to top of seat is at a 45 dagree angle. A Proper angle should be no more than 20 dagrees. I will be looking at installing a Roll Bar in the near future.

I figure the ASM strap should negate the issue with the large angle? Isn't the issue with a large angle is that force will be sent downwards, compressing your spine? If the ASM tears away, your body will continue forward (or rather, roll to one side like a 3-point), at which point the seat should take the brunt of the 45 degree angle.

For those of you running the Quick Fit Pro, how's the harness around the neck area? I think I'll also get the Pro but I'm not going to be running HANS with it, I am a bit concerned about it being tight around the neck since the shoulder straps tie in much closer to each other at the centre lock.

It's fine. I've had no issues with the neck area on the QF pros without HANS. Since the belts diverge away from a central point in the rear it opens up plenty. You can always adjust how close/far the central point in the rear is too if you need it to open/close up more.

Terrific! thanks for the response! Definitely getting the PRO.

Works great with or without Hans.
Pro also gives you option of adding 5/6 point harness upgrade (not pictured) if your seat is suitable.
Ideal solution for those part-timers not looking to install a harness bar/cage.

Make sure you get the pads for them. The one issue I had first time I used mine is the belt left a pretty good mark against the side of my neck from rubbing on it a bit.

Once I got the pads for them that went away.

Cinch them down across your hips first, then shoulders. Then move your seat forward to tighten them a bit more. I've had them for a few years, and really happy with them on track. I prefer using them with a HANS because while the inboard shoulder stitching is designed to give, I don't want it to be a competition between the harness and my neck. Only concern with them is roof deflection in a rollover, but that's also a concern with a 3-point belt locked as well. Statistics are on your side. And your leg won't be quite as bruised from bracing yourself. So. Bonus.
