M1/M2 Sport,
M1/M2 Hard Core,
& M1/M2 Hard Core Hard Top
****Sports Cars, Etc. Note: The Hard Dog M1 & M2 roll bars are very similar. All the important details are in their lower descriptions, but here is a quick summary: The M1 bars are described as specifically designed for the '90-'94 Miata, while the M2 bars are described as written for the '99-'05 Miata. This description can be misleading. Basically, the M2 bar is able to work with a glass window top like what the later model cars came with, while the M1 only works with plastic window cars. When purchasing the bar, focus on which type of window you have in your soft top versus the year of the vehicle and you'll get it right. If you think you'll ever install a glass window top in your car, go ahead and get an M2 version of the bar.
After that you have the Sport vs. the Hard Core; the Sport uses a smaller diameter tube, and is compatible with the factory hard top. The Hard Core uses larger diameter tubes and is NOT compatible with hard tops.
For those looking for a bigger diameter tube and hard top compatibility, you'll need to go for the Hard Core Hard Top variant.

The M1 Hardcore
From the desk of Hard Dog: The Hard Core Series of bars are designed to meet SCCA Solo 1, SCCA Time Trials and NASA HPDE safety requirements for the competitor that wants to maintain a dual purpose car for street and track events. The M1 Hard Core models fit all Miata chassis from 1990 - 2005 and are specifically designed for plastic rear window convertible tops. Not compatible with glass rear window soft tops. The Single and Double Diagonal versions of the M1 Hard Core Bars are built with an integral harness bar as standard equipment There's no room for a PROPER straight integral harness bar with the X Brace optimized diagonal angles. A Bolt-In Harness Bar is required for shoulder strap mounting with the X Brace. The Standard M1 Hard Core is the tallest design possible with a functional top but not necessarily the best choice for tall drivers using stock seats because of the more forward placement of the main hoop. We recommend the Hard Core Hardtop version or Sport models for most drivers over 5' 9" with unmodified stock seats. The Standard M1 Hard Core is NOT designed for use with a hard top.
