    Roll Bars

    First thing I am doing is installing a roll bar but I have a couple questions.
    My car ia a 96 M Edition car and will be a track car 85% of the time and 15% street use.
    I plan on ordering The Hard Dog Hard Core M2 (glass window) bolt in Harness bar and bolt in door bars.
    Question 1. If I want to build a Spec Miata (at a later date if the racing bug bites me again) can I just add onto the The Hard Dog Hard Core SCCA Solo 1 roll bar?
    2. I am 5'7 will I have the 2" clearance required with stock seats. (will be getting racing seats at a later time).
    3. Is the Hard Dog Hard Core the right roll bar for my use.

    Careful when installing your roll bar. Your ABS sensors go right where the pads are supposed to be behind the seats. You have to relocate them and if you forget their they're your crush them and cause yourself more issues.

    Ordered The Hard Dog Hard Core M2, bolt in Harness bar and bolt in door bars today. I plan on watching all the youtube video's on the install so I should be good to go by the time it gets here. Thank you TheButcher for the ABS sensors info.

    That explains what happen to my car! May I asked exactly where, I tried to strip down and follow the wires but no clue and is there a fix or will the sensor need to be replace? Sorry for hijacking this thread.

    They are right above the wheel wells behind the seats. You have to remove the package tray cover to access them.

    If you cut them you will need new sensors. Ebay....they are stupid expensive if you buy them new.
