i know that rollbar padding essential to protect from injuries in an event of a rollover, but what size padding will i need? i ordered a DOM ap rollbar (1 3/4") so what size padding will i need to use (1", 3/4", or 1/2")??

I just recieved 1" thick SFI padding from summitracing. I got 4 three foot sections.

That's the size that was recommended to me, and I'll recommend it to others too.

 

4 three foot sections to over the important areas or the ALL areas? damn, that's a lot of padding.

 

David, I recommend you get the high density SFI padding (about $15 per 3' strip) for at least the areas where your head could hit the cage. The less dense padding is ok for other locations. I bought two 3' strips, which is enough to cover the "headshot" areas in my crx.

 

This is the padding I was referring to: (1 inch thickness)

I just posted the link since the original link in your post (http://store.summitracing.com/product.asp) was going elsewhere..

 

i feel really stupid asking, but is it necessary to have shoulder pads on the harness?

&lt;------ damn noob.

No that's a comfort thing. But let me be honest, the harnesses tend to cut into your shoulders without the pads.

 

No. They're only there for comfort.

I've never had pads and never thought that the harness was uncomfortable.
