Looking for advice/information, pros and cons re installing a role bar in a 1987 911 Carrera convertible.

Cons-you loose the back seat and the front seats will not go as far back. May be an issue if you're tall.

Pros - I think it looks good. More sporty looking. You can do DE's on tracks that require roll bars. Stiffens up the chasis a little. Provides roll over protection. Is a nice push point if you move your car in and out of the garage a lot (to access the lawn tractor).

Some venues aslo require arm restraints and other require that you run with the top up. Which is rediculous as WTF with speedsters?
