What are you looking to do with the car now and in the future?
Wolfe 6-point weld-ins are great cages. I've helped install a couple and all my buddies have them in their 9(not legal, I believe), 10, and 11-second cars. The fit is decent, install is straight forward and easy, and it's made with quality. When you work things out, it's usually cheaper to go this route and have it installed. Less down time and cheaper labor - if you don't do the work yourself.
I run a bolt-in Autopower four-point with a harness bar in my GTO because it's used for road racing. I enlarged the plates to cover a larger surface area. I have no reason to go further than a four-point and it hasn't created any issues with getting in and out of the car...rear passengers are not suggested once you have metal bars going all over the place, but I've had people back there a few times.

We have a package that sells the lowers and the K-member and can add in the uppers to a custom package. The new rear sway bar is proving to be much better than our last bar on the street. No mater how you slice it, the bar is a drag race only bar, but we have been able to limit the noise and you can adjust it to limit its impact on steering. So yes, it will be "decent" on the street, but don't go looking to eat up some corners. haha Unless you're into drifting!
