Best place to buy 8 point cage??

[Bigstang1]

I am going to be purchasing an 8 point cage soon and i want to know where the best place to get it is. I dont really want to pay the $80 for frieght from summit but i will if i have to. I want to retain the use of my back seat if at all possible. I saw the universal rear down tubes that enable this in summit but im not sure how they work. I have heard that even the mustang specific kits come with some extra pip and you must cut to fit your particular car. Is this true. I am going to piece it together and tack it myself with my arc welder then send it out to be finished. any info on cages and where to get them and what not would be apprieciated thanks guys

I went to my local speed shop and got my 8 pt. I didnt have to pay freight that way. I got a competition engineering cage and had it bent to fit my interior. The guy that did it had a mandrel bender. The cost of the cage was like 150 bucks I think. The guy charged me 200 bucks to put it in and he also put in my sub frame connectors.

I was going to Holcomb Motorsports in North Carolina, but they are in easy driving distance for me.

From Mass, maybe Wild Rides in NJ would be good.

Maximum Motorsports make a NHRA legal bolt in roll bar, available with swings outs also. It keeps the hatch bars up and out of the way and ends down near the rear seat....sounds like what you are looking for.

Almost no cage is hold and weld and will require some fitting and re notching. www.swracecars.com also has them along with www.wolferacecraft.com

will a rollbar make your insurance higher?? or will itlower it cuz its for safety.

Problem with a pre-made roll bar is getting someone to install it.

Sometimes it's easy, but alot of chasis shops in NJ (i'm close to wild rides) don't want to install someone elses work, it's kind of an insult to ask them.

The roll bar will not make the insurance go up or down. However most insurance companies do not like to insure cars that are what they say are "race cars" so keep them away from looking at the car.

I am planning to go MM. Everything I have gotten from them fit really well.

I bought mine from www.swracecars.com . Just had it painted & am getting it installed now. It would have cost $64 for shipping but they're only an hour away so i picked it up.

Ditto the S+W, but a friend had a local race car build put one in for $350 that turned out pretty dang good. If I were you, I'd ask around at the local track and see if you can get a hook up from a local chassis builder.
