i would never put a role cage in my car. Unless it was breaking the 10 second quarter mile time.

And no its not like i'm grabbing gears in 90* turns at 100mph or anything, I just like to be prepared. Not to mention, I can think of at least 3 guys off the top of my head that have been in roll over accidents, that were not their fault.

RE: Roll Cage
this is probably a little more extreme to what you guys are talking about but i was watching this thing on the Wrx sti rally car and what they did was for the roll cage they actually welded the bars to the top and bottom of the car and not only does it add greater protection but apparintly it improves the stiffniss of the car and the chassis (sorry i cant spell) this way the car has alot less felx..but ya, make sure its a good one for a daily driver..iv seen some really gay *** ones were it takes a arm and a leg to even get in the car because the bar goes right across were you get inside..and these were not on any race cars

yah... my system was pretty heavy.... i dunno how heavy exactly but i would carry the box for like 10 feet before having to take a break... and when it took it out there was a HUUUGEE difference... and then i had to adjust my rear shocks down like another inch.
