cheap roll cages?

bsn95w · Jan 29, 2010

whats the cheapest complete, just needing assembly roll cage on the market?

i found a company that meets nhra specs, but they want 350... im pretty sure theres a bolt in kit for less? atleast i thought there was.

also, if you have it dont be shy about posting pics, im looking into buying a modded 00' gt, but the first owner had an aftermarket sun roof installed... and im not sure if i trust the rigidity of the body... im thinking a roll cage and sub frame connectors are a must... just to be on the safe side.

thanks.

where did you find the cage for 350. What Point was it? 350 doesnt seem that bad.

Unless you're running 11.49 or quicker, the rollcage isn't necessary for NHRA. Further, a bolt-in cage isn't NHRA legal anyway.

Although the sunroof would make the car slightly less rigid, it's going to be nominal and not as much of a concern as a convertible top. (for example) A good set of full-length subframe connectors from Maximum Motorsports would fit the bill.

Get an AutoPower cage. I have their 6 point road race cag in my race car, and the i have a Kenny Brown "4-6" point in my street car.

sub frame connectors are a must have item. the cage would help, and if 350 is the lowest i can find... very worth it.

If your going to spend the money why would you do it half way and not do it the right way and get a quality product and somethign that will be there for you if you should ever need it.

I was thinking the same thing. A roll cage would be the last thing I'd try to get a bargain on! Never the less $350 doesn't sound too bad for a cage. Maximum Motorsports has 6-points for $370 and even that seems a little excessive for having concerns of the rigidity... Especially since you plan on doing subframe connectors.
