I'm looking for just a simple like 4 or 5 point roll cage with an x brace. I've been searching but not finding too much. Can anyone make some suggestions for me? Thanks
I would be hesitant to buy a bolt in roll cage. They usually use normal steel and are like 2 1/2 to 3 inch diameter. You would be better off getting one made for your car. Use chrome moly steel, you can use half the size diameter pipe with the same strength. I had a guy that was a off road fab guy, make mine for my camaro. With the bolt in ones it will be bulky and not really form fitting. The one I had made was welded in to the frame of the car and is really close to the roof and body. It will cost maybe a little more then a bolt in one, depending if someone gives you a deal on labor cost.
It really depends on what you need a rollcage for. If it's for serious track use, spend some money and have an experienced shop build a custom one. It'll fit you better, be more functional and offer a whole new dimension of safety. Be prepared to have the shop build some seat mounts at the same time and get the seat ergonomically correct.
I agree with everything posted. The problem with bolt in cages are just that. The bolt. I would rather go for a welded cage. And fab shop can do wonders for cheapish, understand that time IS money and that you should bring the car to them stripped.
Im gonna be completely honest its just strictly for looks. Ill probably just have the guy who custom made my valvetronic exhaust make me one but I just wanted to explore any bolt in options
If you are going to spend money on a roll cage might as well have it functional.
My car is about one inch off the ground and is a show car, I simply like the looks of it. Maybe one day I'll turn my car into a track car at which point it will be very functional
Yeah, I understand that you want it for looks but just spend a little more and get it done right. I bet it wouldn't cost too much more if any more than a bolt in one. Just throwing my 2 cents, then you can tell people it is made wit chome moly and that it's welded in. Sounds cooler and will look a lot better than a bolt in one. And no I don't own stock in Chrome moly steel. Lol just know it's the best route to go.
