roll cage distributors / fabricators

[BACON]

i've been looking into getting a roll cage for my car. I've been looking in to getting a boltin roll cage made by Autopower, the problem is the only distributor locally around tampa is a mustang shop in clearwater. My question is if there are any other distributors for this company around?Are there any other companies i should look into? Or on the other hand is it better and cheaper to get one fabricated?

thanks

do you want one for the :bling: or do you actually need one for track days & whatnot?

What's wrong with going with the mustang shop? If they are a distributor, I'm sure they can get what you need. Mustang or no Mustang, I'll bet they don't care what you have, if you have the cash, I'm sure they can proivide the service.
Its not like it takes specialized skill to install it on the Honda.

i actually want one for the track as kind of a personal safety percaution, I will probly end up going through the mustang shop i just wanted to see some of your opinions, I have seen roll cages in some of the cars of some events i have spectated and just wanted some input

I have a autopower bolt-in in my car and I feel like I'll die in a wreck, haha. Too bad I'm too poor to replace what came with the car.

For street driving a roll bar is not necessarily a safety device. The primary concern is that roll bars are not typically designed to have unhelmeted heads bounce off them. Just something to keep in mind.

Agreed... a cage in a daily driver without a real seat, harness, and lots of good padding is not even close to a "saftey" device. It's a weapon.

I have a daily driver, I'm building my crx for the auto x. On the other hand there is padding you can buy if did want to drive it on the street.

Padding is REQUIRED in any sanctioned racing event. It's not you can buy it if you want, you HAVE to. They will let you run with no cage before they will let you run with cage but no padding.

If all you're doing is autocross, you don't need, nor should you WANT a roll cage.

Autocross speeds are well within what you'd see on the street, and the likelihood of a rollover in a well-prepared CRX is very low. If you're comfortable driving on the street without a roll cage, there is zero need for one at an autocross.

Aside from that, you're adding WEIGHT, which is something you should be trying to minimize.

Forget the cage, spend the money on suspension, tires or entry fees.

Tony's a good guy. He does mostly mustangs, but does a lot of other stuff too. The last time I was in there, he was putting a procharger kit on a plymouth prowler.
