I've never heard of JEGSTER, but that 8-point is exactly what I am looking for.

What I really want, is the Autopower 4-point race roll bar with some relatively low side bars.

I'm pretty sure that's the one BDC is using.

but look out for shiping costs I think it's around the same price as the bar!! unless you live next door

If you're looking at doing more than drag racing you'll want to make sure the cage is NASA/SCCA legal. I believe those require a diagonal cross bar running from the driver top corner to the passenger base. The Jegs bar is missing this and as such compromises roll over protection a fair amount. You can find a copy of the NASA CCR at http://www.nasaproracing.com/rules-f...s_2003_CCR.pdf SCCA requires you buy theirs.

Then you'll definately want to get your hands on the SCCA CCR before buying or installing your cage. If it doesn't conform you will not be allowed to run it. Its especially important in autox but now that SCCA is sanctioning alot of the major drift events you'll need to follow their rules there as well.
