Vosko, I went with a Kirk Racing Roll Cage. It will fit in place without hindering too much drive seat mobility and will also let you keep the rear bins. You do however lose the small storage areas over the wheel wells for the jack and ****. And the passenger loses almost all reclinability. Other than that it is a great fit. I had them make mine to NHRA specs so that I would pass tech. I got a full weld in cage, you could get a bar if you wanted but if you ever go below 10.99 then you will need a cage, not a bar.

Vosko, I've had a S&W chromoly in my stang since 97. I loved the quality of the kit and have never had a prob at the few events I've gone to with it. So, if your curious as to thier quality I swear by it.

theres a guy in patterson, who makes chassis. from what i hear pretty darn good ones too. he might be able to make u a legal cage for ur needs. i asked my dad for his name and he didnt know. he only knows him by "el compy" or "el compay". ito should know him. used to race an 8 sec(not 100% sure) rotary powered blue datsun fastback.
