Roll Bar- Roll Call

I am trying to figure out what do do for a roll bar.So who ever has one installed or is working on one please post pics, and where you had it done. Maybee who ever did yours would like to do a kit for the rest of us.

I know some of the tuners are working on bars, but I am trying to cover all options.

I spoke to S&W Race cars in Pennsilvania they have a kit for the Gen 1 but not the Gen 2. They told me they would love to do one but need a truck to do the design work. There price is real cheep too $ 150.00 for a basic bar. They can do more intricate stuff for some extra money.

If someone is in Southern Pa. they would love a truck to design a bar.

I have bought three weld in 10 point kits from S&W in the past for different cars. All of them fit perfect, however interior pieces will sometimes will need to be removed or modified to accept the new bars. For the money compared to other companies S&W is quite good with fit and finish. I don't know if people will want to weld the bars in......a bolt in would probably be more appropriate especially for ease of removal.

Don, did you raise your front end up?

Why wouldn't you just put some 2 inch lowering shackles on.

The reason the front is so high is that there is no motor in it right now, it is lowered 1/2, but it sure looks weird right now

The car is junk and was in the process of parting it out when i took these photos. I would never run another car again without the rollbar or harness....as you can see the damage is quite extensive...but not that bad BTW, it is a blast trading paint at speed.
