with a well designed roll bar would sfc have much to offer. surely a roll bar properly designed would far surpass the effectiveness of sfc. im not looking for a 12 point cage, i dont want anything that intrusive. though what i had in mind is a hoop at th bpillar with a removable crossbrace to allow the seats to recline for the highway(as im 6'2").i saw the rickety hoop with rear supports that go underneath the seat though i would think the fact that they bolt on instead of welded must hurt their effectivness.now back to that nonintrusive rollbar(rriiiiiiiigggghhhht). what i had in mind was running bars along the ceileing and down the c pillar through the rear deck and an attachmant plate on the rear struts with a crosspeice welded on like a strut tower brace. weld it to the strut tower and leave holes for the bolts. any thoughts on if this is feasabile? how much more of a difference would 2 front bars to the a pillar make. i want to keep the front seats looking clean and uncluttered.the roll bar would also provide a nice place to mount some 4 point harnesses to. do you think this could be done without extreme work?im not looking at this as a rollcage protective standpoint, simply a chassis standpoint.it would seem like this would lockthe back half of the car together pretty well. if this was the case would shorter sfc's be of use to tighten up the front end extending bakc to th b pillar rollbar attachment point? that way access to bushings and fuel filter isnt restricted?
it without a helmet on. 
You can have seats almost all the way back before there on roll bar. The biggest problem is building a Roll bar that fits everyone, I always design around driver and permenant seat position.All though I'm an advocate of fully welded bars, I will make this one a bolt in for ease(IS it really) 
The mounting plates for main hoop will bridge together the weld line were rear and middle sections of car are joined. So with SFC'S the roll bar will really work good together.
