you don't really want to run a 5 point harness on the street anyways... it limits your ability to turn to view your blind spots, will also limit your ability to tuck incase of a roll over... (hense the reason you need a roll bar)....
You've apparently never seen Dan drive - entire head & neck out the window to check blind spots.
If it ends up coming down to it I'll probably take my car to a shop and have a custom roll-bar fabricated - then take it to a show and have it either painted or powdercoated.

I'm curious as well, I just put a Bride Zeta 3 seat in my car with a pretty low seating position. I passed the broom test by 2 inches and am now wondering if there is a safe way to mount a 5 point harness.
Im 6'1" with sparco evos that are real low and I have to slouch to pass the broom test with my roll bar thats 4 inches higher than the stock roll hoops

I just went out a took some pictures, I had about a 1/4" gap from the top of my hat to the top of my head to help simulate a helmet being on. It might be a tad bit less than 2 inches. Overall, there's no real good way to mount a harness without a bar, so I'll be running the factory 3 point until I can get a bar.
BTW, I took these pictures my self so they aren't the greatest, nor was I in the completely proper driving position due to hanging my arm out above the door taking the photos (I probably would have been a tit lower w/ both hands on the wheel).

your lucky as shit dude. i for one am tall with a big head so that puts me at a disadvantage 
so i'll be getting the lowest seat/rail combo i can. my heads below the bar and windshield but with a helmet it won't work
