So is that the only solution?
Roll bar + hard top + tall person = bolt seat to floor? I will not give up the hard top; I can not tolerate cowl shake. |

Well right now clearance isn't a huge deal, no track time in the forseeable future. Obviously I don't want my head in a place to where there's a bunch of my head above the bar but. Yea...

Highest rollbar option is one of the Hardcore variants. This is the easiest test in the world. Put your helmet on and get in your car. If you can't fit in the car with helmet on with the top up then no rollbar will be high enough. The rollbar obviously can't be higher than the top, so if you do not fit, you must drastically lower your seat somehow. I'm 5'10" and I don't pass the helmet test so good luck.

At 6'3" you have a hands width between your head and a hardtop with stock seats?? SOB I need to get a hardtop because at 5'10" my head is brushing the roof, WITHOUT a helmet on. What the hell man. I have a seat that should be here this week. I'll post all sort of pics when I put it in.

i think if track time every comes up for me i will have the HT on, Which with the seat bolted to the floor wont be a problem with a helmet, siting in the stock seats with sliders i have about a hand between my head and the top. i plan to upgrade seats and bolt the drivers side to the floor or get some really short sliders.also the hardcores dont work with glass rear window. wall and a hardplace :vash:

yea my legs are all my height basically, the stock m seats feel like they sit lower than my 92s stock seats and they definitely sit lower than the Mazdaspeed knock offs that were in there.

The different years seats fit me differently. The cloth 2000 seats I had about an inch of headroom. The cloth 2004 MSM seats 1/2 inch. The 2001 leather seats 0 inches lol.
