Would the half cage be like the Do-Luck Tension Gauge? I was thinking about this but if you look at it on the SPL site it still has the RXB on the bottom. Right now I'm thinking the RXB and then getting maybe the Tension Gauge later. I found a Tanabe RXB too and it has more mounting points(it mounts to the tranny tunnel too).

Autopower's "street" roll bar will look like the "tension gauge set"... except the diagonal bars will point straight down from the roof to the strut towers instead of following the curve of the roof and rear window. This is a much stronger design, but it obviously kills rear seat head space. A "race" roll bar will have a diagonal brace across the main hoop.

The "tension gauge set" doesn't include the floor bar, by the way, it's just there in the picture.

Do luck Rear tension gauge steel=$550 aluminum=$680
Do luck rxb=$350

Autopower race roll bar =$300 for DOM tubing $270 for ERW tubing

it would be tight to have the rear tension gauge and the rxb if you can afford it and think it's worth all the extra money. I went with the autopower bolt in cage for 700. If i were to decide again, i think i would just go with the 4 point. The car spends most of it's life on the street and in the mountains where a roll cage can be dangerous without a hemlet..
