    Gen 2 Coupe Headroom

    First, let me say I am tickled with the Coupe (most prob know that by now).

    Question: Does anyone have concerns where the roll cage bar over the door intersects with your head? On mine it comes about an inch above my ear. It is foam padded, however I keep thinking about what my head would be like if someone ever T-boned me on the side.

    Consequently, I am considering the drop floor mod. In addition this would allow me to install the seats I prefer correctly.

    Any thoughts on this?

    Thanks.

    Bob

    Yes, I would do it. I wish I would have done that on my build. While you are doing it, take a look at what I did to lower the bearing that supports the steering shaft, which is in my build thread somewhere. I feel that the steering shaft sits too high, even without dropping the floor.
