pretty darn hard to even get in the back seat with a roll bar.
everybody will tell you don't do it, including me

 

No you CANNOT do it....think about it for a second....would you want anyone you remotely like or care about back there when you get rear ended??? Their face will go right into the bars....

 

Its not very comfortable. I have one. But it is cheaper than getting a complete roll cage. If I were to do it again I would get a harness bar and some good four pointers.

 

i thought you wouldnt be able to, but for some reason on their website they say you can.

 

well.. you can, but would you want to? no.

 

well if theres ANY harm at all in having rear passangers with the roll bar than i wont get a roll bar. So then the question is how safe is a car at the track without a roll bar?

 

Not a good idea, cage or roll bar, whoever sits back there will hate life and will probably get severly hurt or killed in the event of a bad accident. Just me 2 cents.

 

I have the full autopower cage in my car.. DONT USE REAR SEATS.. Youll see what I mean when you get it put in

 

Not sure what sense that would make unless your only reason for having a roll bar is to hold your harnesses. I doubt that's the case, and a harness bar + 4pt for road racing is about as bad as it gets, so I'll assume that was dry humor on your part.

 

I agree....a roll cage is definatley unsafe for rear passengers. I had a 6 pt. autopower cage in my 90 eclipse gsx.... Looking back at that car, there is no way I would put anyone back there....however the roll cage came in handy with a wild ex-g/f of mine...BUT thats a whole different thing though!

 

as every has said here. big no no driving a fully caged car on the streets let alone put people in the back seat area!! :O

 

Based on?

 

Based on the fact that a harness bar provides no additional safety, and using a harness on track without rollover protection is dangerous, especially a 4pt. Then, add the fact that he already has a roll bar and is saying he'd rather remove the roll bar and just have a harness bar - that's crazy talk.

 

Even if you got the roll bar w/ no diagonal or harness bar, it's still too dangerous for passengers in the rear seat. Anyone sitting on the left or right side will get there skull split open in a side impact.

As for the harness bar, any rear passenger will most likely need some major dental work if any frontal or rear collision.
