Godspeed Roll cage

Anyone one try one yet? I didn't know they made these at all. I am very curious as into the fit and quality of the product.

Looks pretty nice..
and price isnt bad either..

Hows the fitment? and especially around the back seats?
Is back seat removal necessary or does it fit around them if you modify the seat a bit?
thx

I haven't tried one yet. I need to get another grocery getter before I think about installing one of these. I don't think the wife would like climbing the mokey bars just to get into the car.

Looks like a lowered priced Cusco cage painted a different color.

Bill I think that will fail tech. It's pretty fail in general, bent a pillar bars, no diagonal on the main hoop- hinged joints.. ugh.

Sell me those wheels soon and take the money to Chris Howard!

That will fail tech in drag.i dont understand why these bolt up cages are even made/or even bought.yea they stiffen up your car but they can also kill you.a good cage(drag) with run $2500 at least and will have at 10 points this will be good up 8.50 sec.you can also can also get an 8 point roll bar (11.49-10.00)which is what most evo owners will need since there isnt alot of evos running sub 9.99.oh yea and the only bolts that are allowed are swing out bolts for door bar.

Yeah, that thing doesn't look all that safe. Looks like it would crush pretty easily from the top down or whatever, due to the bends. And bolted top? I can't see that holding up.

It'll hurt more with the weight than the added benefit of chassis stiffening.
