6 point roll bar is all you need.I put a swing out door bar in mine and that way you can swing it to get in or remove it all together for the street.You can get a Comp Eng kit for $2-250 from Lordco,generic parts stores etc and its not bad for fit could be better but hey for $200.

All the rules should be able to be found at nhra.com or look up one of the sanctioning bodies and it'll tell you. I don't think you'll find a beter price than swracecars.com though. I think my 8 point was $160 before shipping. All of them you'll have to trim and kinda fit to your car, so might as well go for the cheapest.

Hate to do it, but the thread I made about it back in the day.

A lot of people complain about the SWR cages and their iffy fitment. I believe the Jeg's cages are supposed to fit better.

I dont think ur going to find a roll cage kit that keeps the back seats. Im putting the back seats in my car but their just going to be folded down I dont want it to be a gutted car so the seats will be their just not usable. Ill take some more pics this weekend if u want, the cage is done now and painted. I Mig welded my cage but id Tig weld it if you have the skills to do so.

+1

10-point roll cage or dont do it at all. A roll-bar doesnt cover the most affected area of a car in a rollover. The windshield area.
