I hear you Paul, we cant see how we can make it much tighter as we are already running the bar pretty tight as is. At the same time, we can't imagine if this is par for the course how anybody with as little head clearance as ours would think its safe. This has us stupified because in our minds all we can think is we must have done something wrong. Thats why we are asking the guys on the forum that have cages if they can post pics of them self sitting inside showing how much head clearance they have.

Jeremy our only concern with lowering the seat is that we will lose visibility as we are both only 5'8 and these cars have limited visibility as is. When we get back from PRI on Monday, we are going to reinstall the dash and position the seat on the floor and see how we are feeling about that route.
