Default Hardtop rollbars???

I have my cartek x pkg on the way...what rollbar is everybody running in their hardtop cars??? I will be needing one soon. I'd like to get one that is as unobtrusive as possible, and since I'm 6'2", one that will still allow me to put the seat back as far as possible...what brand and who has the best price on them??
thanks, damon

DRM "chassis stiffener bar", is what I use. They don't call them a roll bar, probably for liability sake. Also it is not SCCA legal, because they use.095 wall thickness which is less than the .125 required. It's a nice bar, looks good fits nice, doesn't interfere with seat motion, but the rollbar does block quite a bit of the view from the rearview mirror. $495. http://www.dougrippie.com look under suspension components
