Are looking into a roll bar extension for roll over safety?
The boxster is wide, low with minimal lean on turns, unless you make a sharp turn at 60+ MPH it is momre than likely not going to flip.

When I bought my Gemballa Competition wheels, the seller threw in a BK roll bar, BK fire extinguisher mount and a set of Sparco seat belts. I put the BK roll bar on just for grins and did not have any issues with my head hitting it as it sat above my stock roll bar. I'm 6'2" as well.

I ultimately sold the roll bar and fire extinguisher mount and used the Sparco seat belts in my Jeep CJ7. I'm not a track guy (yet) so I didn't think I'd ever use them. I don't worry about the roll over protection, as the stock bar seems adequate (in that my head doesn't extend above the bar).
