THIS IS THE ONE THAT I HAVE, IT WILL MOUNT ON EITHER DRIVERS OR PASSENGER SEAT

My car has one of those and it took me a while to figure out what the heck it was for.

I'm leaving them on. I've talked with a couple people with cages and their opinions are mixed. Looking at it, there is enough room next to the window for it to squeze past the bar.

I have 2-sets sold, and 1 is yours. I also brought in a set for Steve and I to put on ours. When we will install them, is another question.

1st will be my hitch and M7 exhaust. My trailer is supposed to be done in the next week or 2, so I need the hitch on to get it.

I think MSRP is $230. Since your car is going to be primarily street driven, you might want to hold off on it till I see how it alters the ride. Because it replaces soft bushings with a solid mass of metal, it is suposed to increase ride harshness. It is mostly a track mod.

Yes they will be less than $230.00. They are getting great reviews on other threads. That's why we are bringing then in for our MINI's also.

Yea I wasn't going to get them but then i read a thread about them and the guy really seemed to like them. I'm not so much worried about the ride, I just want the car to be fast and Handel really well.

Then you will love them. I love how they increase you caster which will increase turn in and decrease tire wear on the track.

I'm not worried about the parts being there, It's can I talk Jen into letting me spend the money.

Yea, thats true but i'm going to have to take off a lot of the same parts if i want to do this at a later date, So why not just do it all at the same time?
