How Much Room Do you Lose? I'm looking at a 4 or 6pt. roll bar. How much room do you lose between the door panel and seat? Does the bar hit the seat and panel? Also too on the floor board. I'm 200lbs so room is critical for comfort.

Honestly if you get a Wolfe 4 point you will be good with leg room and be able to recline the seat to a comfortable position.
I am 6'4 255 and it was comfortable to me, however if you get the 6 point with door bars go with removable otherwise you may run into comfort issues. I never got the door bars so maybe someone else will chime in that has the 6 point.

I feel like I did a million searches for pics inside a finished car for the 6pt. All any pics I can find shows is the 4 pt. above the sheet metal. I really would like a 6pt.

I am 6'1" 265 and have the Wolf Racecraft 6 point roll bar. I had swing outs put on both doors for ease of entry. I normally leave the drivers door off when not at the track. I will try to find a picture of it . I can tell you that your faux back seat cannot fold down any more and it's almost impossible for anyone to sit there. Hope this helps.

Here's a photo. There is no reclining with this bar. It just clears the door and the seat. IT takes a little work to get in with the top up if the door isn't where you can fully open it, but it's manageable.

I have the wolfe 5 point (4 point, with the removable, swingout option on the driver side). I passed on the 6th point on the passenger side, as I felt it would be a hassle for my wife. We take the car on trips a lot and want her comfortable. As for the removable driver side bar, it does not touch the door panel or the seat. Wolfe did a fantastic job with their measurements. I have had the bar off the car the last 2 years - I only install it for track days - it's a little bit of a hassle on a street car - constantly pulling and inserting the pin. I passed on the solid, non swing bar due to having more room, and not having to crawl over the bar to get in and out of the car.
