power braces or rollcage

So for this coming autox season I want to do some chassis stiffining, and I can't decide between an autopower bolt in 6 point cage or the cusco power braces. The price difference between the two is only a difference of $150. What do you guys think?

Yes, both will as long as the cage is not a weld in.

From my understanding a weld in cage will put me into a unlimited or full prepared class.

I have the Tanabe underbraces and a Works trunk box, the entire set really stiffened up the car. Make sure you have a good set of coilovers because with these it starts to reveal the limits of the stock shocks.

Have coilovers going back in to get the car corner balanced again cause raise the ride height. How much of a difference does the body brace improve the handling?

A rollcage should only be used in a car that isn't driven on the streets. Go with the braces unless it's a pure race car.
