I just had a conversation with an experienced crash safety and injury biomechanics expert, who is an FIA Fellow, etc. He told me that SFI 39.2 was the way to go. He said that the shoulder supports are critical when side head restraints are present...otherwise, they are more dangerous than non-halo seats.

I measured the seat as something like 37" tall and that wasn't going to make it in the car with the sliders and mounting equipment that I had. So, agreed.
Forgot about this conversation. Had to go back and get the Recaro and lower the mounts/mounting points to get it to fit as the OMP seat would have required cutting to clear the trans tunnel. Love, love, love the Recaro. I've never felt as confident in the car as I do with this seat.
