This is Ivica, I don't use padding as I think it would interfere with soft top, meaning you would have to press onto the padding to fit it over. Why do it then? The M2 hard dog sport for hard top fits with glass rear window, offers the same protection as all these dual diagonals, and it also allows the hard top side latches to close. It does not interfere with seat travel. I have it on my 1993 LE...with door bars which I also highly recommend. Cheers Ivica

What makes the M2 better than the M1? Any other reason not to get the padding from Hard Dog also, or is it just price? I probably also should have mentioned that I need one that will fit with my hardtop also. Mainly I’m confused on why an M2 because if they both fit why offer an M1 at all?

It was the easiest rollbar install ever. 4 honest hours of work, start to finish, with no hurrying. Everything fit beautifully. Hard Dog has really come a ways since I installed my HDHCDD in my 97 eight years ago. The long drillbit is totally worth it. Mine drilled 5 of the 6 holes needed before it broke. Fortunately, a short one was able to drill the 6th rear leg hole. The HD Sport fits fine with the glass window. Get an NB top and an NB (er, M2 as they're called by HD) rollbar. I'd get something that would allow for future hardtop use. And get some SFI padding! I like the stuff that racerpartswholesale has. $20ish per stick.
