Default Roll Cage - Protecting for Side Impact

Hey everyone, im looking to get a Roll cage but i want one where which has going from that back to the front of the car running parallel to the door, and i dont mean the one over the head.

Im NOT looking to get the two bars running from front to end over your head,
I AM looking for a door roll bar like this



paired with this

Is your car a street car? Getting in and out will be much harder.

Have a shop weld something up for you. About the only option as far as I know. If you were closer I would refer you to National Speed in Wilmington, NC. They had a shop s2000 with a custom cage similar to what your looking for.

that door bar you pictured requires the cutting of the inner door skin, the door bar protrudes out, you will loose the use of your window, you will need to remove it or have it always up, that owner cut up his door panel and put it back on for looks


also that door bar is goin to require cage work up front, a front cross bar under the dash, a vertical bar by the front a pillar for it to connect to

your stock doors have door bars in them, and with a aftermarket door bar like you pictured will require you to remove the stock door bars


you should do alot more research on roll bars/cages
