We had a bolt-in cage in the blue Acura initially. It would lift a rear wheel about 1/2" at Summit Point in T9. Then we had a professional cage installed and it would lift the wheel about 4" at the same place!
That rigidity is also what will potentially save your life.
I don't know if you saw this but a year or so back there was a Mustang that had an Autopower bolt-in rollbar installed that when it rolled it punched through the floor. I don't know how the driver/passenger were not hurt.
Quote:Jim, having seen your car, my advise is to have a professional build you a proper cage. Anything else is just wasting your money. Is it worth it to risk your safety for a few thousand dollars?Jim -- I'm with Larry on this one for sure. Not only will a welded in cage be way safer but it will also add a lot of rigidity that will make the car faster.
