Default floor bar?

anybody know if this sting is worth the cash, I am looking for an alternative to a cage but would like to stiffn up the chassis at the same time http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT

That looks like it would be for road racing, but some SFC's would give you some stiffening that you want.

Don't waste your money and time. Just becase someone sells it doesn't mean it works.

plus the look and feel Sport Compact owners want!
Sounds kinda like stickers that make you go faster.

But honestly I don't know if it will work or not. I always stay away from buying things that have a 25% restocking fee if you return it.

^^^^ agree with him, Why do you not want a cage? You could put in a 4pt roll bar and it woud stiffen the chassie real good. Do you have sub-frame connectors? If not that is a great place to start. Just my opnion.

I do not want a cage because I don't want to cut up any part of my interior. The interior in my car is the factory black and I love it, maybe I know this sounds dumb but if I could get something such as this and weld the cage to it that would make it at least removeable, to a point. I just don't want the intrusiveness of a cage, this is my daily driver and my kids ride in the back sometimes.

go with a good set of subframe connectors and don't worry about a roll bar if you ain't willing to cut up the interior some for it to fit.

I agree with roundman just get a good pair of sub-frame connectors with the cross braces.

Go with the subs the car would twist from front to rear not side to side.As far as cutting up your interior to put in a bar is just not so if thought out but you will have to cut the carpet I put a 6 point bar in the wifes and cut nothing and put a full cage 12 points in mine and I cut the front speaker grills to run the bar through and that was it.As far as kids getting in I still left the rear seat in the wifes car for the kids but YES IT IS A PAIN IN THE AZZ for them to get in and out
