Default Das Sport rollbar and seat back braces

I'm considering the purchase of a Das Sport rollbar for my '94 Turbo. A few questions. Is there any difference between the turbo and n/a interiors? E.g., the 964 bar will work in my turbo?

The main question: does the 964 Das Sport bar offer adequate room behind the seat for a seat back brace? Does anyone have pics of a bar with seat back brace? How much does this bar restrict rearward movement of the seat, if any?

I'm pretty certain that a DAS bar for a NA 964 will work just fine in a 964 turbo. DAS has never made any distinction within model years other than making taller bars for sunroof delete cars.

I have a Brey-Krause bar on my DAS and am just under 6' tall. There is plenty of room for the hardware, but I also prefer a very forward position. WRT rearward seat movement, ideally, the brace should be right up against the seat back when you're driving.

Charlie, we have to 965's that have DAS bars in them, no issue for seat movement nor seat back braces that I am aware of.

Mark & Kary, thanks for the responses. It sounds like the Das Sport will work fine for me!
