Default Roll bar vert

Will a C5 Z roll bar fit a C5 convertible?
what are the differences between them?

Default Roll Bars

I have been researching roll bars and so far the only set I have been able to find that I would go with is on this link.
I plan to order a set of the 4 point without the SCCA bar.

@Popee Did you every find your roll bar? I never sat in another C5 so I don't understand if it's the roof spacing that is an issue. I thought the structure wall past the back seat is identical to the c5z / frc.

Has anyone here try to use a C5Z / FRC roll bar in a C5 vert?

Does anyone have input on what's involved in installing this roll bar? or do you need a professional installation?

I'm thinking about doing some HPDEs, and a roll bar is required for convertibles.
Thanks!
