Default 8 point question

Im going to be putting an 8 point cage in my 90 soon and I was wondering if anyone knew of a rollcage kit that could still keep the back seat. All the 8 points Ive seen have to have the back seats folded down or taken out and I want to keep the back seat. Thanks

To install the main hoop correctly yes the rear seat must be removed, but can be re-installed.. However you have the bar behind the front seats to deal with.

no body will be able to sit in the rear seat so you might as well delete it. a bar will run from the left to the right side of the main hoop. plus, two bars should run diagonally below the cross bar and through the floor to the subframe which would make it impossible for some ones legs to fit
