Default Autopower rollcages

does anybody here have any experience with autopower's weld in rollcages (both 4point and 6 point)? i cant find the cuscos anywhere anymore (plus there bolt in ) and these autopowers are appetizing. any insight would be great. thanks guys

we have the cuscos in stock, and also offer Autopower cages. Autopower offers both bolt in and weld in options, with offerings ranging from roll bars to full cages. Cusco's are bolt in only, but also have a wide range of offerings, from the normal 6 point you typically see people post about, up to 10 + point with dash through (instead of going around the dash) units

I had one in my old 240sx.. Fitment was pretty terrible, cage was extremely heavy, but it was cheaper than most.

don't think so, no, but they do meet the criterion for other countries equivalent organizations, such as MSA in the UK. Best bet is probably asking SCCA
