I have a S&W racecars cage in mine, not finished its a 10 point, but I have 6 points in so far. It needs to be a welded cage thought, bolt in cages wont pass tech for any kind of racing at all. Even at our local track if your car isn't fast enough to require a cage but you still have a cage in the car and its bolt in you won't make it pass tech inspection.
@ Stanger, why didnt you run the rear bars into the truck area and weld them over the frame rails adjacent to the wheel wells.

No your rear bars that you have going through your plastics, I ran mine into the trunk area and welding them right over the subframe next to the wheel wells.

I just followed MM's directions when installing and if you would look at anybody that has a MM bar they go through the plastics. The plates on the rear bars are bent perfectly to sit on the inner qp, I bolted them through and then had everything welded as well.

Icic, my kit originally wanted me to weld them on the wheel wells, bt after talking to a large majority of competitive drag racers and some people from the sanctioning body they said its more beneficial to run hem over the frame rails in the back.

Its not really about how fast the car runs, more of how beneficial it works as a chasis stiffening unit, and as stupid as it is different area and sanctioning bodies require the bars in different locations. Once I get my battle boxes in and the plates welded inside the car im gonna have the diagonal bars welded right to the back of the battle box plates for some serious torque box reinforcement

Because you would have to loose the back seat to run them to the rear frame rails, and that tirns alot of people away. I'm sure the difference isnt to drastic but from a functionality standpoint running them through the backseats to the subframe is better.
