I am 6.1 and had the safety21 7 point. With OEM seats, the hair on my head touched the roll bar!

I ordered a pair of bride bucket seats and low max seat rails that made 1-2inch more head clearance but i still found it a bit doubting. With your lenght, i wouldnt even consider it! Get a harddog or safety21 rollBAR

Aren't roll bars dangerous without a helmet for this very reason?

if you have a roll cage and crash... your heads going to hit the cage and its probably going to be VERY VERY messy.

I too am looking at a roll-cage for S2, leaning the way of Cusco... having a few issues with approval of around dash roll-cage. I have safety 21 paper work its all good NASA has been great about assisting me approval. Still working on it.
In my Lotus, I have full cage and simpley added approved pading for street driving, along with lowing seat for head clearence... keep in mind that harness hold me in place.
