The rule is 2"if a stick was placed from the top of the windshield to the top of the roll bar. Or 50 mm.

This is a tough question. I am 6' tall and have never been checked on this rule. With stock seats and bar I would never have passed. The second year of DE's I bought a Brey Krause which did make me legal. The next Year I got Recaro Pole Position II seats. Coupled with Recaro Aluminum seat mounts and bolted onto my factory seat sliders, I am now 4" below the top of the bars. This would have made me legal with out the Bery Krause bar extensions.

I don't recall why any more but I had to move the slide release on the driver side seat there was some clearance problem maybe something to do with the Immobilizer
