Default Roll cage + harness advice

Ok... I have found GT2 buckets and now need to decide on a roll bar and harness that will all work well together.

I want the the seat to slide back fully and to maintain some usable rear cargo space so have narrowed down to either the GMG LMS or the Das Sport which both seem to satisfy the above.

Leaning Das Sport since it attaches to the shock towers, though not sure how important that is.

Any advice on LMS vs Das Sport and a good harness to put with it?

Congrats on scoring those Perlon GT2s. You got a great deal. I only have experience with the factory ROW Clubsport, and Tequipment bars and the GMG RSR and LMS bars. There are still a few Clubsport bars floating around and that's my recommendation. It's light it fits it does the job and it's OEM. I haven't handled the RSS or BBi bars. However the GMG RSR bar is the most difficult to install bar I've attempted and it's heavy. Once in it looks good and I'm sure it offers good protection but it's a beast. The Tequipment bar is a nice easy to install inexpensive option unless you are doing a lot of track events. You'll want better protection. I think I sufficiently botched that answer. Hope it helps a bit. Best Josh

Hi Matt,

We have a bar for your car and here are some pictures of it below. We have them in stock and ready to be coated in any color. The most popular harness would be the Schroth GT3 specific ones and they are $550.00 per side. We can supply those as well.
