roll cage
ok well im thinking about getting an 8 point roll cage mainly for chassis stiffness and something to hook my 5 point seat belts to since right now they just hold me to the seat. plus a point roll cage is just like 140.00 or something. ill look for the link to the roll cage in a few minutes. but yeah, the question... sound like a good i dea? , if i do get one should i still get subframe connectors?, are they easy to put in??

Re: roll cage
oh thanks that would have sucked to get it and be missing the main hoop. but im thinking the spohn one is more what i want because its bent for the stock door panels and the one in yearone dosnt say anything about that.

Re: roll cage
I wouldnt think it would be too bad putting in a cage. You just have to cover everything when its being welded and painted. Dont forget to add in the cost of the install. Any idea how much power your making? I would think about putting off the cage unless your making some serious power and youve got a 12 bolt with drag radials. Go with some subframe connectors, strut brace, etc. I just bought a set of spohn SFC's and they are the heaviest built ones ive seen yet. Plus they tie together with the crossmember. Just something to think about.

Re: roll cage
Well, you could kiss any part of the sleeper look goodbye if you get a cage...

Re: roll cage
he want the 8 point which goes along the door area. Will be noticable. I wouldnt care about that. A cage looks hot. How much do you think they weigh?

Re: roll cage
the 8 point roll cage goes by the doors but not high enough to see it when the doors are closed. now if you was talking about a 12 point cage then it would be a diffrent story.

Re: roll cage
id still just go with the subframe connectors. Much less of a headache to put in. Worry about a cage when your pushing 500+ hp. Just my opinion though.
