Go to the Strut Towers or wheel tubs, either way will pass SCCA (ala Kirk and Autopower). Thats what all the Japanese cages do also, the good ones will tie the bottom of the rear downbars into the bottom of the main hoop. Otherwise the MA Motorsports guys run two pairs of downbars on their S13s, one pair to the shock tower and one pair to the frame rails inbetween the wheel tubs (which IIRC is the gas tank area on 14s).

Don't you need a diagonal to pass SCCA? The radiused gussets are cool though, where did you get the plate pre dimpled?
