There are no harnesses (4pt, 5 pt) that are DOT legal…only the 3 point seatbelts that your car came with. That is not to say that the harnesses arent better when installed properly, its just a reflection on the fact that the DOT cant regulate how these other harnesses are installed. That said, I intend on running just my harnesses on the street, because Im installing them and I know that they are safer. If I ever got a ticket for it, so be it I guess. Now you can run those harness bars, but if thats what you want, I would probably suggest just getting a pre-made kit, as it would probably cost as much or more to make one from scratch and they dont seem to offer much in terms of design. What most guys do that dont want a track legal 6 point bar, would be to have a 4 point bar (main hoop with 2 bars back, and a cross bar on the main hoop) that can be used to mount harnesses. It would be alot more structurally sound than a harness bar, and provides some roll-over protection, but its not any more legal at the track than having nothing at all. You can also do a 6 point roll bar with swingouts on the door bars. That is NHRA/IHRA legal to 9.99. Most of bars we are doing right now are actually 8 point, however, as it includes the two downbars to the tunnel in order to give it more lateral strength. A roll cage (not bar) is a 10+ point that has the halo around your head and meets the door bars at your feet, usually going through your dash. Cages need to be certified, and will make your car legal to 8.50. Once you go faster than 8.50 in the 1/4, you need a 25.5spec SFI cage that has numerous other rules regarding floor supports, etc. We are building our 8 point roll bars with 10 point upgrades in mind, and our own personal 10 point cages with 25.5 spec upgrades in mind. No sense in doing the same work twice. Hope that helps ---

thanks for the good information. although i never planning on going that far to where i NEED to run a cage on the track, i plan on doing moderate things to my car. my long term goals with the car is to bring it down to a mid 12 second car at most and i also intend on auto-x’ing the car a few times. although i dont drive wrecklessley or disobey the speed limits i do have a thing for taking turns at speed, but i dont like getting tossed across the car which im sure will happen in auto-x even more so. what would be your suggestion for what im looking for? oh and also the car this would be going into is a 1990 eagle talon TSi FWD if it makes any difference. thanks for your time and the info, -Steve ---

> [@cky89](#): > > what would be your suggestion for what im looking for? On one hand, Id always recommend some kind of roll bar because its safer, helps tie the car together (better for handling and weight transfer), and gives you the best structure for mounting harnesses. On the other hand, I realize that it may be the more expensive option. But I havent seen much use of those harness bars, and I cant say I like the design idea. Its your call on what you want to have in the car and how far you want to go, but if you want to stop down to discuss or see any of the cages going in now, that would be fine. ---

Are you guys doing DOM tubring only or can/do you do Chromoly bars/cages as well? I was considering the Wolfe 6-pt for my Firebird outta moly, but seeing you guys are local I was wondering an estimate to have this done (97 Firebird, 8-pt, Chromoly, with both swingouts). Oh, and keeping a full interior in the car; so the adjustments to keep the bars damn close to the interior panels but still being able to have the panels there. ---

[/quote] Is there a reason you wanted chromoly? Its usually for the weight savings, but you dont save as much as you would think, especially on a 6/8 point bar. Chromoly has some disadvantages for street use. But we do have a tig and can do chromoly as well if thats whats called for. It would be no problem keeping all of your interior panels, same as ChrisH has. And all of our bars are fit to the driver, where as the kits may not have the right main hoop height/location. The wolfe side bars are usually too low to be officially legal, but especially because you want swingouts, it would be no problem building one that crosses in the correct spot. ---
