Agree 100%, it's what I've used in all my Stohrs. I just had to get new belts for my car this past spring. Belt material is nicer/smoother than many alternatives, as are the adjusters.
Give them a call and they'll get you the right model - apparently newest recommendations are 2" lap and shoulder belts. The new ones are really nice.
Expensive, but worth it, IMO.

My last two sets of belts have been a Schroth Hybrid in the WF1 and AMAC. Pull up lap belts, 2" shoulder and lap, individual substraps that had a web top going onto the lap belt fasteners. The pull lap belts made it a lot easier for me to get belted in and I could pull the laps tighter than I could with the usual fixed length laps in the standard Formula belts. It looks like Schroth has discontinued that model.
The Schroth Flexi or Profi will give me the pull up laps but the subs now meet in a T buckle. In the pictures, it looks like the sub strap configuration will give about the same support and spacing as the Hybrid. In the WF1 I am about a 20-25 degree layback and can use the HANS 20 easily. Interesting that Schroth still talks about the Hybrid restraints in their technology section.
The Formula 2x2 from Schroth gives the option of fixed or pull up lap belts. Nice belts
I just purchased the Sabelt CCA652FRU. Good quality. The lap belts are always a hassle to adjust due to limited space.
I noticed Pegasus started carrying Sabelt recently. Same style as the Schroth unit (Formula 2x2) for a little less money.

While I like the model above; I am tempted to consider these since I have some hardware to finish them off...

We have a safety equipment specialist that attends some of our local events. His biggest recommendation for belts was to use 3" webbing in areas across 'soft tissue' That is the lap belt. For this to work in my car, I could not go with a T-Bar setup on the subs. The base of T-Bar rubbed on my pubic bone. So, I run with independent subs similar to how the Schroth is designed.
FWIW, the 3” belt recommendation is apparently outdated information.
Schroth has more info on the topic, but evidently research continues. Something to do with how the belts interacted with the pelvic bones.
YMMV.

Corky,
I have a brand new set of Schroth belts with the clip in substraps, pull up lap belts, and Hans compatible shoulder belts I will give you, as in free! Experation is 2022. I didn't like the substrap configuration. PM me a phone number and I'll text pictures. Bruce
