no you don't have to remove the top.

install is a bitch though. find the write up from Chris Lum on here and do yourself a favor and buy titanium drill bits.

 

The cage is okay for looks and safety but the chassis stiffness that you get is unmatched. If you thought your car handled well before, well your in for quite a treat.

 

what about on the 4 point, handling any better?

 

yes you get it with the 4point too. what it does is stiffen up the chasis and improves handling over uneven surfaces.

were you to go to a smoothly paved track surface it wouldn't really show much benefits besides safety. the roll bar does similar things like an xbrace.

 

yeah with that cusco bar i wouldnt get it for safety...its all for looks....it does stiffin the chasis but as fora roll cage...thats a no gooooo

 

 

Its all for show but i never heard anyone dying from a cusco cage. also when ever are u going to flip your car. looks nice

 

for those of us that rock through the canyons pretty hard, it's not a bad purchase. I know of at least 3 ( 2 of them local ) s2000s that have gone off the hillsides / cliffs.

sure it's a pretty cage / rollbar but you can't deny it's safety either. and depending how tall you are the full cage isn't an automatic death warrant.

 

A local guy here has the same cage. Looks awesome

 

Alot harder to get the back end out... if you were skilled enough to drift your S2k before you got the cage, you aint now lol.
