oh sweet jesus why would you bolt them to your strut tower bar?!?!?!
your supposed to attach them to your rollcage.

search on that, there was a GREAT write-up a few weeks ago about 4-points and rollcages.

as a SAFTEY hazard do not bolt them under your seat or below like 23* or something, in a collision with this low mounting position, your spine could be compressed and easily break.

yeah, u are advised to keep them level or on a downward angle so that u dont compress ur spine!!

also u are sposed to mount them on the roll cage, wither that or but/maie a harness bar

u can make one pretty easy, just get a pipe (a strong one!!) and weld on some steel stock to the ends as brackets (after u measure it up and cutting it a little short to compensate for the brackets) and then weld it onto the b-pillars and ur set! i wouldnt have the welder too hot though or it may show up on the outside of the car lol

and as stated before, keep the harness bar above the opening for the harnesses!!

Lol... you bolt them to the ceiling bar on your ROLL CAGE, wich apparently you don't have... A small roll cage would cost about $300 shipped, or go to your local machinist and he'll bend one out for probably around $200 that will work. You took the cash to buy racing seats and harnesses... finish it out right...

Sparco makes a harness bar that bolts in to your standard seat belt bolts and then down by the seats. Its approved im pretty sure by some safety company, you may want to check that out on their site. They also have a list of dealers and I suggest you call them on pricing and fitment for the FC. Im guessing around 300-400$ USD.

oh, jeese. I just found it. I had just immediately clicked on "catalog" at the top, and I guess I clicked on one of the links following that, because I only had like 10 items to choose from. lol. sorry, I'm a moron, like my name indicates.
