Roll Bar Help-------->inside

[SHALOM96]

Hey guy’s aim in the market for a roll bar I need to find one that is reasonable cheap and the lightest as it can get. if it comes down to it I rather take the lightest that I can get more than the price. so some help would be very appreciated. and please people post pic of your set up's I aim looking for a 6 point I guess. because the car will be going no more than 10's so guys come along with the post I need this info ASAP!!!!

The absolute lightest your going to get is a custom Crommolly setup, should be between 800-1200 depending on how much custom work will be needed and how long it takes, and of course the price of the material when you buy it.

Personally, I am going this route, but i dont want the car to wait 4 months at the shop. i am gonna wait until 2 or 3 more cars make it out of the shop before i put mine in for the roll bar.

I called up s&w race cars yesterday they have a chrome molly set up for our cars 96-04 that weights 60pounds and is only $349 with swing out doors. vs: the mild steel one weights 95pounds and is only $149.i think aim going with them and there chrome molly set up.

Hey bro win is the next time that you are going to Bradenton motor sports park the track.because aim going this Thursday to run my car hopefully to go low 11’s on just motor.then somewhere in the 10’s with nitrous but I don’t know because I have been having problems with me clutch so we will see.

That is a good price for the "kit" but remember that 99.99% of the time those "kits" will still require some custom fabrication to get it right... IMHO its better to start from scratch and have someone reputable build you a custom cage....install is gonna run around $500 maybe more maybe less and install doesnt matter which way you go... thats why i am going with the custom built, that way i know it will fit right the first time...

I plan on going to BMP thursday the 14th and saturday morning the 16th....

When you pull into BMP, i usually park my truck next to the concession up against the fence between the seating and the 1/8th mile marker....i ususally park my car next to the fence by the entrance road.

2nd the opinion about the kits. Our shop gets several requests a years to install a RB kit, and it is almost as much effort as doing the complete job.

If you go with 'moly, remember that it needs to be TIG welded.

I had a custom one built from chromoly...super light and ran about $950 and was money well spent. I have seen other "kits" that don't fit near as well and are much more difficult to get in/out of. It took the shop about 4 days.

I have the S&W mild steel 8 point in my 85 gt fit perfect, all I had to do was hold the bars in place and weld.The bars came already notched and ready to go.
