So you are removing the front section of the roll cage, leaving the main hoop behind the front seats, right?

Ok, so you have gone back to the stock situation in front, but still retaining a potential head knocker behind the seats

What? why is that? Simple: Accidents are almost never simple straight shot straight on to an object. There are usually secondary impacts outside and inside the vehicle. Your neck can extend about 18" in any direction, when the conditions are "right" . (Don't believe me? Go find a video that the Hans Device people produced= scary!) Given that the stock porsche seats are designed to yield under certain impact situations, you can be exposed to the rear cage in the worst way.
Do you have any impact foam on the main hoop? Think that helps? If you had a helmet on it would, otherwise not much on a bare noggin.

We sell roll bars, and they are for off road competition use only. You sign a waiver acknowledging that before you can purchase one. Yeah sure, they look sexy in the latest RS, ST , R version cars we build, but the owners accept the responsibility that its intended for racing use with proper safety equipment in use
