    Roll cages.

    Hi, i'm wondering if prewelded cages like these: http://www.autopowerindustries.com/pricelist.asp can be installed in our cbs (sedan in my case) with keeping the rear seat?

        People are going to tell you no its not a good idea because X number of things.

        If you do the autopower cage it will be sort of hard for them(back passengers) to get in and out.

        For the price you are paying for one of these, you might be able to get one custom made for around the same price or so. they will also be able to make it to where your back seats will be accessible.

            If you put it in, nobody will want to, or should sit in your back seat.

              Yeah , it's safe for me bot not for passengers. I wont buy the cage then, because it happens that peoples sit in the back of my car.

              Thanks.

                Good choice!
                Cages are not very good when your not in a full harness and helmet, they actually can do a lot of damage to you or you passengers in accidents where you impact the cage, and no the foam will not protect you. You can find more info on racing forums.

                    You can brace certain parts of the frame, but a full rull cage is extremely dangerous if you're not in a racing helmet + 5 point harness

                      what about something such as a main hoop or roll bar? these can still be accessible to the back and somewhat safe right?

                          Really not a good idea for a street car, I would only do it if your racing in a class or spec that requires a cage.

                            I love when people ask about cages in the Appearance section. It shows how serious they are.

                            A cage will not be safe for you either, unless you drive around wearing a helmet.

                              That's about the only thing you can safely do.
