Default Rollbar Height

I've noticed on my nearly completed West Coast build that the rollbar height in its current installed lowest position is considerably shorter than the top of my head, and more so with my 6'4" 15 year old son. Agreed, it's an unorthodox full width rollbar and most cobras have singles or two of them. I can raise it up, but I'm wondering just what position the top of the rollbar should be in to be effective in protecting the vehicle occupants in case of a rollover. I don't intend to drive this beast aggressively for a few months but later on I might push its limits. I've noticed that in some of the forum photos the single rollbars appear not to reach as high as the driver's head does.

Thanks for any replies in advance!

Dirk
