I have the Autopower 4pt. Road Race Bar. I am 1000 % happy with it. My seats can go all the way back. Its the bolt in bar. You can just go with the basic 4 pt. as well, without the cross bars.
I also got the Removable harness bar AND diagonal bars, so I can put my kid back there.
It takes about 4 min. to put in, or take out the bars.
I didnt like the shitty black paint, I refinished mine using Epoxy based Appliance paint. It looks good and is VERY durable.

^^ You really dont use that quarter window.
I had the bar in my garage for about a month. One day I just started looking in the car... taking a piece out here and there.. saying to myself, how hard can this be?? Before I knew it, all the seats were out, carpet was pulled up. In the end, it took me 6 hours by myself, start to finish. It wasnt hard at all. Just take your time, go slow and think before you drill any holes. It came together perfect.

Illegal meaning you can run the car on the track if you have it or if your car does faster than such and such speed that it won't pass for track inspection?

most track's work on a tech basis of "if you have it it better be right", meaning, in this case, although the car may not be fast enough to need a rollbar (11.49 in most cases) since it's in there it must comply with the rule's. at some track's you wouldn't pass tech with that bar in a car slower than 11.49, faster than 11.49 you wouln't pass tech anywhere. some goes for harnesses & most racing seat's, if they aren't tied into a propper rollbar, you don't pass tech.

So... For me to run a 4 point it would have to be welded in? I want my backseats to still be usable... Thank the san antonio texas raceway would let me run with it?

I think thing's are getting confused. you can have a bolt in roll bar, you can't have a bolt in harness bar. as for the back seats, can't help you there. also not much help for weither your track will let you run it, best to ask them.

why waste money on a 4 point? at least do a 6 point.... 4 point is NOT NHRA legal...
my car has only a harness bar in it... chromoly, and it is legal, but only to 11.49

4 point is IHRA legal to a point & only a harness bar is ok, it just has to be welded in, not bolted.

So as long as I'm not using the harness bar I'm good? I can have a bolt in roll cage?

skip the rollbar if your not gonna do it right, a rollbar with no harness (ie stock seats & seat belts) is asking for trouble IMO, moving around in the seat in a crash with the stock seats/seat belt's & a rollbar means your arm's & head (helmet or not) are free to hit the rollbar, very not good.

6 point is the minimum most places around here will even build for you... 4 point is just a waste IMO... infact my harness bar is just a waste IMO too, but I could not afford the 6 point bar, and am glad I didnt buy a cage for the car, because now this winter, I can just have my buddy put in a 10 point cage for me...
But I did not feel safe going down the track with just a stock seat and harness, so I put in a kirkey and 5 point harness...

not really. most people don't worry about a rollbar/cage untill they need it (11.49) & once the cars that fast again most people don't d/d it anymore & the back seat doesn't matter.
