Revvin, this is my opinion on the deal. Don't skimp on something that is going to help keep you alive! My cage is going to cost $850 and is being completely custom built for my FC. Honestly, I don't trust buying anything that is "bolt-in" as far as cages go...get one custom down that you know will work. Rob pretty summed up all the tech stuff so I'm not going to repeat it...besides I know a bunch of tech inspectors that will not let a car into the 10s w/ that "cage"....





BTW...I'm getting an 8pt It also helps to have a local guy who builds tube chassis and cages for a living only 40min away

It's how the tubing is manufactured.

DOM- drawn over mandrel

ERW - electrical resistance weld

I'm not clear on the finer points of each, but I don't think SCCA will certify ERW any more. Not sure about NHRA.

Good luck

That boxed in part will colapse. And shouldnt there be a bar going across the rear bars too? I dont see much support in keeping bending to the side.
