Cooltech vs Watson....thoughts for an R?

[jlwdvm]

Was considering a roll bar for my R that has rear seat delete. Cool Tech has them on close out, but was originally thinking about Watson. Thoughts for a HPDE car?

Never mind...LMR has Watsons at $1100 plus $80 shipping every day.

Maybe it's already too late, but my feedback is to at least consider Cooltech. I have the Watson and I love it, but I install and remove it for every track day. I'm 6'4" and I can't have the seat anywhere near my normal position with the Watson roll bar in the car. The seat back has to be quite upright and the seat base has to be moved forward significantly. It's fine for high performance driving, but super uncomfortable for longer drives or a daily commute.

I would probably pull the roll bar out anyway because I don't want to crack my skull on the roll bar or wear a helmet during my every day commute. Even with pads on the roll bar I don't think it's completely safe for daily driving. However, I'd still like to have a roll bar that allows the seats to be pushed back farther. I think the Cooltech roll bar does that.
