Here is my roll bar, the cage is basically the same but with a roof hoop and front legs:
sorry about the bad view, I am drunky and that was the easiest pic to find

Sweet setup...I like that better than the cusco - its just beefier. - My head would sslam that rear bar though if I try and lean the seat back too far.

And yes, its a serious competition setup so not really the best idea as far as safety for the street.
Oops, sorry for the threadjack OP!

Did you ever look at the Autopower cages? I know they are legal at the track too but I dont know how well they fit.

I know the guys from Nukabe very well, we used my previous car to develop new parts (which unfortunately never came to fruition, since the platform was probably going to be a weak market). I have had a number of rides in the Cusco STi, and have been to the owners house. Great guys, great products.

I just want to put this out there so you guys understand whats going on. The cusco cage is not a REAL roll cage(if you ever had a real one you know what i mean), This will not help you incase of an accident, it is not constructed of the proper material and thickness to be usefull. How do i know? Well ive owned over 4 autopower roll bars/cages and have installed a cusco one for a close friend of mine. I have crashed with an autopower roll bar and let me tell you it DID ITS DAM JOB! The autopower cage is TONS thicker than the cusco cage, honestly its the largest waste of money ever!!!! I believe there are two applications of the cusco bar that are ACTUALLY functional and safe to use on the track(legal) They would be the Mr2 and the S200 cages. Thats it!!!! The cusco cage should be used as a show only piece!! And using it without a helmet is extremely dangerous as well. I hope you all are safe and drive carefully.
