I am ready to put in my 10 point roll cage. I was wondering which company makes a better cage. Both are about the same price, i hear the chassis engineering has poor fitments but i hear the s&w makes a good cage. Just tryin to get others opinions.

I know everyone is gonna say get the Wolfe Racecraft cages, but im not wanting to spend the money they want for them.

Thanks guys

S&W over comp. eng. anyday. I've heard the only "custom" part of the Comp. Kit is the hoop. The rest is generic/not mustang specific.

Thanks for the info... I am leaning towards S&W, so your saying the S&W kit are all mustang specific, i know everything isn't going to fit perfect, but i would like it to be pretty close.

Ditto. I have the Comp. Eng. in my car. Took lots of notching, bending, cutting. Heard the S&Ws fit a lot better.

S&W has a better fit, they come pre-notched for most of the bars, but you will have to do some notching and clearancing on some of their notchs. Overall they are pretty good.
