Default Contact Kirk Racing?

I'm looking to buy a Kirk 4-point roll-and-harness bar, but their website is down and I can't find their phone number anywhere. Does anyone have it?

Thanks guys. One question I couldn't find the answer to was height. I'm between 6' and 6'1" and I daily drive my car. Will the Kirk bar restrict me enough to make me uncomfortable? If so, will the Autopower bar be any better?

I'll probably be running Corbeau FX1s with this setup, if that helps. Thanks again.

Your best bet for fit is the Kirk! As far as if you fit, that all depends on your seat and how you sit in it and how you mount it.

I am running the Kirk roll bar in my car and I am 6' 4" tall. I lost 4 inches of seat travel installing this roll bar! The stock seat was no good to me at that point. I also have the Corbeau FX-1 seats in my car. I had to hand-fabricate a set of brackets for the seat, but I was able to get it lower and further back than the stock seat, so I don't even hit my head on the headliner with my helmet on.

There is a thread somewhere on this forum with some pics of the roll bar and seat installed in my car - do a search and you should find it pretty easily.

I would suggest pricing out a custom roll bar from a reputable cage builder. My autopower bar had to be modified and rewelded to fit properly. The harness bar comes welded to the bar from autopower's shop, so if the harnesses don't satisfy the angle tolerances, the barneeds to be removed and rewelded.

We installed the Kirk roll bar yesterday - amazingly good fit!

I put in a racetech seat w/ G-force 6 point harness, too. With the DAS seat mounts, my head room was gone and thighs were into the steering wheel. Nick at N-Tech made me a seat mount (with slider) that sits right on the floor, and now everything is OK.

FYI - the shoulder of my racing seat makes slight contact with the door upholstery so check your dimensions Also, with the roll-bar in place, both driver and passenger seats will have less fore and aft seat travel, and you can forget about reclining.
