For those of you with roll cages or bars

Which one do you have (if it's available commercially) and does it allow you to have the seat as far back as the factory sliders allow?

Basically I'm looking to buy a roll bar or cage (probably the Cusco 4pt as a local shop can get me a good price on it) but I'm tall and I need the seat all the way back, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Sam

With the autopower 4-point bar i can put my seat all the way back. I have a bucket though, so I don't know how far you can lean the normal one back. If you're putting in a bar it means you're probably taking it on track, so you should have a bucket and harness anyway.

I still daily drive my car so I'm thinking maybe a sport seat type thing, one of the reclineable buckets, like a sparco tornio that's still TUV or FIA homogolated.

TUV is a for street vehicles in Europe, it is not a racing sanctioning body like FIA. Just so you know. (I didn't till looking it up just now)

I daily drive mine too. Make sure to pad every part of that bar that could even conceivably contact either occupants' head in a crash.
