4 point

Looking for recommendations on a quality pre fab 4 point roll bar/cage from guys who have gone through the process. Which ones to stay away from too. I prefer a one price bar.

You're going to spend ~$600 uninstalled for a decent roll cage that really only applies to a full-on track build. After following your thread I'm curious as to why you think it's necessary?

Why is it necessary? Why is anything necessary, really, in an R53? It’s my fun car, it’s not a daily driver and I’d like to put some Sparco or Cobra seats in and have a 4 point to anchor the shoulder harness. It’s on rails now and I want more bolstering so I don’t feel like I’m fighting to stay in the seat. Also, I’d like to attend some track days. There are two locations within less than 2hr drive.
