Hiya. So yeh you may be a bit stuck. In my 1.8 which was a 5 door the omp frames are actually adapters for the original mounts/sliders. Took a lit of conversation with DT for them to tell me this as only 3 of the 4 bolts lined up. Anyway. THe answer to your question.... on my 5 door ones i used the pretensioner bolt holes but it sounds like you dont have that because youve got OMP base mounts.
I will have exactly the same issue in a few weeks so im glad youve ran into this issue before me. I imagine youd need to drill a hole and weld in a reinforcing plate somewhere and then bolt through that.
For the rear i would defintely rather go down to the bench belt bolts than to the C pillar. Ideally you want a near to horizontal harness so probably best to invest in a harness bar in the future. You could look at the subaru and evo style harness bars that bolt into the B pillar holes which will now be free. Slamwagon has one in his estate. look at his project thread.
