Cool Best place for a roll cage/bar?

Anyone know where's the best place to get a rollcage from? Or are the four point bar option the only one available? If so who's got the best one?

I've heard M2 has high quality cages. Of course the price is up there too.

do a search for roll bar/cage. you will come up with a lot of data on the subject. The search button is in the upper right hand corner...don't be afraid to use it.

Autopower are pretty nice. www.optauto.com carries them, and pretty cheap too. Also if you want a drag race cage you could try S&W race cars after they made one for ErnieT's car they should have the pattern on hand to make ones for any FD.

kirk racing products. they have a web site,number and good product support. i have one in my fd, and it saved my life once. you see, i rolled a 93 touring and the roof all but collapsed around me........the cage is a 4pt, and is a bolt in application, and can be welded...

there is a post in the 3rd gen section called "spyfish...don't feel so bad" it has some pics lower in the post....

I agree, the Kirk Racing Products are the way to go for safety and price. The 6-point cage is the way to go for ultimate security and chassis stiffness. Julie of Kirk Racing Products is a joy to work with too. FWIW, I plan to install the 6-point cage (1.75-inch OD tubing)...weld-in it's the best way to install a roll cage.

Cool,
I just got off the phone with them looks like I'm gonna go for the six point. Even found a local rotary nutcase who'll weld it in for me.

How does the 6pt Kirk Racing roll bar impact driver and passenger seat travel and does the front portion of the cage go through the dash board? I visited their website and there isn't much info. I sent them an email. I'll pass on any info I obtain.
