Subject: [ASC McLaren ] Re: roll bar
Body:
Actually, the S&W Bar (the one I have) limits the position of the
front seats cause the crossbar is straight. I think the Maximum
Motorsports bar has a curved crossbar that allows the front seats to
have more adjustments. I'd look into that one. Good Luck.
