You should investigate and consider the consequences of a roll over without roll protection. While a harness is excellent to hold you stable in the car; without roll over protection, it may become your enemy. Good luck...

Hi,

Thanks for the picture and vendor Jetski.

Nakedi (that was a night club in SF wasn't it?) I agree. Without major expense or major car surgey I am not sure what to do about roll over protect (Vert is a daily driver street car driven for fun).

Here's my question behind my interest in a harness bar:

Will it firm up or tie up or lesson any chassis flex? Kind of like a strut tower bar would, if you know what I am thinking.

I am actually after handling.

What do you all think?

Kenny

Kenny,

Take a look at our "Cross-bar" for C5 convertibles. We have the only design on the market that has a camera mount, which is removable when not in use. Our design does add to the rigidness of the car that you can feel. We do not make any alterations to the car during installation and it does not leave a sign that it was ever installed when removed. There are some designs that wear the carpet badly from the brackets that keep the bar from pivoting. Just some things to consider when looking at the different units.

Look us up in the Forum Mall and for more details check out our web site.
