That's what I've been considering, but I'm not shure I need to cut into the seat padding to make room for it.
A first hand account would be much appreciated.
I have Cobra Suzuka seats, Schroth 6pt harnesses, and full T-1 cage.

Yes, I've used one for over a year now.
When you purchase a R3, they furnish a rubber insert with a cutout for the stem of the device to fit in. This insert lays against the back of your seat and the device fits in it when you're seated. The R3's very comfortable, but like all H&N restraint systems, there is some limit to your left to right mobility (head swivel). After wearing one for a while it's no big deal.
I picked the R3 because I instruct for many different clubs and very few students have harnesses. The R3 offers some protection with just a 3 point belt. When I get into a student's car, I don't have the rubber seat insert, but it isn't uncomfortable and I don't even notice.
