Default Roll Bar for the paranoid

I'm hoping to buy a used S, perhaps in the spring. So I was test driving this weekend and it was everything hoped for.

I also did a "broomstick test." With the top down I put a broomstick from the top of the front window to the roll bar behind my head. The broomstick was touching my head, so I deduce that if I roll (god forbid), I might not lose brain matter but I would be a bald man. BTW, I am 5'8"

So is there a taller roll bar, or shorter seats? What are my options here? Or am I a paranoid freak?

I'm not intending to race, but I'm sure I'll hit the track and twisty back road as often as I can.

if you want a taller one it would have to be custom made, they just dont make stuff like that

If you really are that paranoid. Why don't you try putting in some buckets. Thats always good cuz now you can do killer drifts. You really don't have to worry too much about the S2000, the wight distribution is pretty much even, 51-49 i think on a full tank.

The best way is probably buy the hard top and put that on?
