I have a chromed Librands but a stud roof not easy up. I do have to use the swivel levers to set the roof supports to fully up to clear it when fitting the hood.
I have lowered my seat to give a touch more clearance. Gained approx 1" !
The standard bar can be replaced with full FIA but unbolting.
I suspect the Safety Products bar may also be too high for an easy up
It's likely you will need a custom bar.
I feel the extra safety in normal road driving is better than without, assuming car were to roll and not somersault at speed.
It has stiffened the car as well.
