You mean a minimal roll bar that follows the B pillar? Something like
the RACE Rollbar here? (Assuming the bar is far enough behind the
headrest that impact is a nonissue)

The street bar doesn't have a belt bar. I assume the street bar wouldn't
work if you were using the rear seatbelt lap mounting points because of
the belt angle? That is still an issue, right?
But the street bar might be OK with one of the Y belt harnesses that
mount to the upper rear shoulder belt mounting point?
Or are you saying a full cage minimum for harness use?
