Default Roll Cage question

Question, i might look into a roll cage some time soonish, but im 6ft 4" ... is there any roll cage recomendations that dont go RIGHT behind the seat and infront of the stock hoops? (i need my seat all the way back)

Why are you getting a roll cage?

I don't think you're really asking about a roll cage.

Did you mean roll bar?

Do you really need to retain the stock roll hoops?

A cage can be fabricated in any configuration you ask for. You can have it placed in the stock hoop position.

I didn't find it quickly, but there is a thread dedicated to wrecked S2000 pictures. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how well the stock roll hoops and windshield do.

But I don't have any insight on a roll cage.

You might not know this, but unless you're wearing a helmet, there's a good chance a cage will just bash your head in in an accident. The S2000 actually does very well in the even of rollover.

I have this problem too. Even though the stock roll hoops work my head is still a good 2" above them. In a roll over I would be supporting the whole weight of the car on my head or end up with the same hair dew as my dad.
