Default Roll Bar

Are there any roll bar kits that will install without limiting the seats, provide an anchor for a harness, still allow for the storage of the targa top and meet racing specifications? I would love to see some pics if you have them. I am also 6'5" and am considering putting some seats directly on the floor to give more head room. I would like to see some examples of what others have done.

Hi there. I got a Jegs kit (Jester 6 point cage) and modified the hoop to connect to the kick up area of the frame because I was worried about the same thing. I'm only 6'1" and I knew I couldn't lose any leg room even at my height.

Here are a couple of pics. Took a lot of test fitment and time though. The hoop did need bent in on each side to make this work and of course the other bars took a lot of time to fit as well.
