IDK, jesse...IMO building ANY type of roll cage is NOT a place you wanna be experimenting and learning at all.
IMO its really not worth the risk, besides the fact that its not gonna stiffen the car as much as the other stuff people here are talking about.

my hatch w/coilovers and a gt4 rear bar could oversteer
and purplegt4 has TEIN SS w/sways and his car is tight as a virgin

roll cages really arn't ment for "stiffening" of the rear...you just need to work on your suspension setup better

i'm in the navy rotc my self i plan on making use of that loan next year

wouldn't be expirimenting, since i have someone who used to do it for a job with his father helping, but i am starting to look at the points people are making about it not stiffening as much as i want it to

Ok so say i build a 3pt front and a 3pt rear, what other custom peices could we fabricate to help out with handling?

Also, what should i do for a harness bar then? Just weld a cross member between the B-pillars?


once again i want to thank everyone who has offered input, it is definatly helping me form my opinion on everything.

PS: these are my current susp mods and future plans

gt4 rear bar
stock front bar
kyb gr2's in the mail right now
tien s-techs waiting for kyb's

I can't afford Tien SS coilovers

and susp tech sways are coming next paycheck


If i drop the cage idea:
3pt custom rear strut
3pt custom front strut

^ what else.. i could do side tower braces

are you enlisting or going to the academy? I'll be at the coast guard academy next year and all of my class mates (except for us 22 coasties) will be at annapolis


EDIT: read your profile, got it mixed with jrotc for a second, how is ROTC treating you?
