Roll cages

scxc15 · April 11th, 2007, 09:12 PM

I've got a couple of questions about roll cages. First of all is a 4-point roll cage the only legal one for street or is the 6-point legal too? And if a six point isn't legal do you think it would matter..like do you think a cop would even know it's not legal? lol Next quetsion is how does it work with your back seats...I know some people put in a rear seat delete kit but I think I want to keep mine. Can you keep your back seats and still have a cage? Somethin else just came to minf wouldn't a 6-point cage be annoying for a DD since you have to climb over it??

why do you need a roll cage for a DD? are you planning on rolling it in traffic on the way to work?

scxc15 · April 11th, 2007, 09:19 PM

A targa top weakens the frame of your car really bad. On the JMS site they say they recoment a 6-point cage if your car is lowered, but I personally wouldn't have a targa top will a cage even if it wasn't lowered.

that would be intresting.

232stang · April 11th, 2007, 09:35 PM

dont forget your subframe connectors

scxc15 · April 11th, 2007, 09:39 PM

don't worry JMS includes the subframe connectors free...which they should since they charge $2669!!

wow do they install it too, and feed you a steak dinner while your waiting

232stang · April 11th, 2007, 09:40 PM

SWEET JESUS! make your own roll bar

scxc15 · April 11th, 2007, 09:42 PM

no no the subframe connectors come with the targatop. You get the top, subframe connectors, and weather stripping. Then you either have to install it youself or find someone who will.

so $2600 just for the top not installed, plus your gunna buy a 6 point roll cage? thats some serious cash

GreenFaleen · April 11th, 2007, 09:47 PM

just get a nice roll bar installed you don't need a full 6 point cage. If you flip your stang your doing good.

scxc15 · April 11th, 2007, 09:54 PM

This has nothing to do about flipping my car. You have to do some crazy shit to flip a mustang.

GreenFaleen · April 11th, 2007, 09:57 PM

yeah I know. You should be fine with just a roll bar for support then a cage wont make the frame beefier it just keeps you from getting crushed if you flip.

scxc15 · April 11th, 2007, 10:01 PM

it does both

GreenFaleen · April 11th, 2007, 10:05 PM

If you have in like welded to your actual frame. Most cages are welded to the floorpan and and run along the frame making it a saving grace if your frame fails.

Roll cages are always good ideas if you moddifed. for strip purposes you need one for a coupe at 12.43 and for convertible you need one at 13.5-13.8 i belive.

thats what sucks I got intake exhaust and pully for my 03 cobra and already need a damn rollcage to go to the track, and the place i go is anal about it
