Sparco Torino and Seatbelts

Does anyone know if the stock seatbelts are usable with the Torinos or do i have to get those harnesses?

Also, in my search efforts, I think I read somewhere that the quick-lock function of the stock belts wouldn't work anymore? You know, when the belt feels a sudden jerk and locks so the belt won't expand further. Sometimes it happens just by leaning foward and it catches you by suprise. Any info on that?

TIA

Yes, stock seatbelts will work with Torinos. I'm running stock seatbelt and stock buckle with Torinos.

Awesome, thanks. I guess I was worried about it taking longer before it initially catches you. Good to hear that they work. Any other issues at all using stock seatbelts that you can think of compared to stock seats?

Nothing really.... the belt might rub/wear the seats a bit, since they do lay/cut into the fabric depending how your seat angle/adjustment is. But with the seats in the car for 2 years, there's no tear or noticeable wear. I don't remember any issues with the stock seats and belts... they went out of the car in about a month of ownership.
