the cages is in the car allready. i have not done any bars through the firewall yet i want to setup the motor in its place so i know what room im working with. right now the cage is a 10pt cage from s&w with a extra diaginal bar in the rear hoop. good point about starting or ending the roll bars in the middle of another bar i didnt think about that. The reason for angle of the rear hoop is because the kit cage only gives you a small top hoop and its the angel of the b piller and the seat if it was strait up i would be siting on the dash lol. thanks for the thoughts & ideas > [@SSR Gt3 Wheels](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/ssr-gt3-wheels/24880/13): > > For the cage, you want to make it so common nodes are used as start and end points for the bars. So you don’t want bars terminating in the middle of another bar. The bar you have going straight down from the A-pillar would be more benficial if it went from the bend in the a-pillar bar by the top corner of the windshield straight down to where the same a-pillar bar meets the floor. Same thing for the bars you have drawn in the engine compartment. I would put the bar you have coming from the top rear door x-bar back to the same point as your rear down bars. You also need at least one diagonal in the main hoop and there should be one in between the rear down bars also. Personally I would make the main hoop vertical, there is no reason to angle it like you have it drawn. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/attn-custom-car-builders-what-do-you-think/247839)._
