SA/FB cages?
Looking for a streetable track car cage setup for my FB. I believe this one is a bolt in and that's what id prefer, id like to run an interior. Is this any good? 1979-1985 Mazda RX7 8 Point Roll Bar EWS ⋆ S&W Race Cars

Street car and cage do not really go together, I would look at a bolt in harness bar if you are looking to run harnesses.

I would never recommend a harness bar for any purpose. Using a four point harness without the protection of a roll bar is not smart. That said, I also don't like to see cages in street cars unless you intend to drive around with a helmet on. The compromise would be a roll bar that is mounted far enough back that the driver and passengers heads can't hit it.
The problem with the S&W roll bar is that it is not made out of seamless tubing. Seamless DOM tubing is required by the SCCA, NASA and likely most other road race/time trials sanctioning bodies. It is also made out of material that is way to heavy. Look at Kirk Welding or Autopower. Better yet, find a cage builder in your area and have one welded in that meets the rules of the groups you will be racing with.
