I doubt that you will be able to use your racing belt with rear passenger because the safe rear belt level is 30 degre from the horizontal (to the rear strut for exemple). You can't just tie the belt to the floor at the rear of the seat, that would be too dangerous in an accident.
Maybe you can keep your stock belt and use it when you have rear passenger. You would have to remove the rear section of the racing belt each time though...

You're kind of up the creek with this one, James.
If you don't use a harness bar behind the front seats, you'd have to tie the shoulder straps to the lap belt locations for the rear passenger seats. Since the straps most likely need to cross behind you, no one would be able to use the rear seat.
If you do use a harness bar, you could leave the rear seats untouched...but getting into the rear seats would be almost impossible. If you had an accident, the rear passengers may hit their heads on the harness bar. If the car was on fire, the rear passengers would also likely be trapped.
You might be able to use a harness with quick release clips for the rear tie points, so you could disconnect the shoulder straps when you want to put someone in the rear seat.
I use a harness with the stock seat when I autocross, but use the stock belt on the street.
Before you finalize your purchase, remove the belts from the box and make sure the mounting plates are installed on the belts correctly. If you've done enough research you'll know what I mean by this.
Disclaimer: Make sure you read up on all the safety issues regarding using a harness and racing seat without a rollcage or helmet.
EDIT: Hmm, you could use a harness bar behind the rear seats and run a harness with quick disconnects to the harness bar. You'll have to use the stock belt when someone is in the seat behind you.
