Message	I've been wanting to get a roll bar set-up for my Z now that I'm hitting the road course some. Looking for some advice on them. I've looked at the following 2 for awhile now. [ http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=60171&Category_Code=AP171 ] [ http://www.ioportracing.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=52171&Category_Code=AP171 ] The first one seems to be a popular design I see a lot. But I don't really like the diagonal bar as it blocks the center view a little. The 2nd design is nice because I can remove the horizontal bar (that you hook your belts to) when I'm not at the track. I'm 5'7" (probably more like 5'6", pretty sure I have shrunk since HS, lol). I've heard of the top of the roll bar blocking the rear view. Will I have this problem being I'm shorter? I'll probably be using a cloth seat as well when at the track. Suggestions, comments, advice? Anyone have better deals or know of another brand to check out? Thanks for any help.
