Hard dog group buy?
Anyone interested in the immediate future in getting a Hard Dog roll bar? I'm hoping if we buy a few as a group, we can get some savings on the shipping, as apparently they won't allow vendors to discount the price of the roll bar itself.

I'm going to order it with the removeable diagonal and harness bar so I can keep the interior intact. AFAIK, it is the only bar besides the Cusco/Safety 21 that will allow for that.

I've been thinking about getting one. Not sure if I'm committed ATM though.

Don't you end up with the harness bar too high if you keep the interior intact? I would prefer to do that, too, but if I have to remove the hoops to get the harness bar at the right height, I figure I might as well go for welded double diagonals at that point. Rockstar is cheaper when you add it all up, but do you figure the Hard Dog has more battle-testing and is worth it for piece of mind?

don't know anyone w/a Rockstar Garage bar, but I was at their shop a few months ago. briefly looked at a couple bars laying around, and they seemed pretty well made. had an Autopower bar in one of my old cars, and the RG's welds looked just about as good. Can't make any further comments about the RG's design or functionality, but from what I've read, Justin/RG owner gets quite a bit of track time in his car. Allegedly, his bars are SCCA & NASA approved.
anyways, i'm definitely not giving up any of my interior for a bar. my S is my occasional weekend/roadtrip car, so i don't want it looking/sounding/feeling like crap.

I have no doubt that the Rockstar Garage bars will do the job fine, I just can't live with the compromises.
For the record, NASA and SCCA do not approve bars per say. It's just a question as to if they pass their rule set or not.
