Some great points! Agree 100% that OEM is the best solution for street use. However, if you are putting in anything over the Raceshop Rollbar, I would not drive it on the street as you have the potential to bang your head on the cage which can cause MAJOR damage to your nogin. I am sure though you were referring to track use only. As you hinted at as well, you should always use a rollbar/cage, seat, and harness together. At that point, I'd feel comfortable taking out my stock steering wheel and putting in an aftermarket one(given it is being used for the track).
The Raceshop/M2 "Rollbar" is prob. more than you are thinking it is, maybe not. Here are a couple of pictures of the one in my silver car for reference. They also make door bar's on some models. I ran this season with the M2/Raceshop roll bar, Recaro RZ seats, and G Force 6 point camlock harnesses and felt safe in the car. But who knows for sure, it was never put to the test. ![]() ![]() ![]() IMO, take it for what it's worth, I'd feel just as comfortable if not more comfortable running the M2 Raceshop roll bar, a fixed seat(whether it's your OEM Recaro's or the SPG's), and a harness on the street. As far as harness's go Phil, I'd get a 6 point. Most 4 points won't pass tech inspections at the track and the 5 points can get real uncomfortable for us guys ![]()
