Default Spoon Hardtop

Ok so the word on the street is this hardtop would not be so safe unless there was a roll cage installed as well, and if this is true what would be adequate (5-point/6-point)??? Just wondering if this is or what.
Thanks in advance.

are you planning to roll your car over any time soon? A hardtop is not designed like a Roof as far as roll over protection. If you think that its just the spoon, mugen will do the same in a roll over. The S' main protection in a roll over is the A pillar and it will take abuse in a roll over. If you want more protection in a roll over a 4 point would be sufficient as long as its a quality design. Im running the gofastlab roll bar for mine.
