Default Anyone use the cage that Jegs sells?

I know they arent a sponsor, but for $150 if it is a good cage I cant see going wrong with it.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

SAC

I am currently looking for a cage so could you post the part # or a link? Also is anyone using the Kenny Brown cage, it is unobtrusive but does it help?

Thanks,

I don't think the kenny brown cage is legal. The door bars are too low. I called about the jegs cage and it didn't sound like a bad deal. The guy I talked to said I would also need the bolt in kit and there was another piece to keep the back seat usable. It was still only like $350 shipped but I opted for the wolfe bolt in cage.

Kenny Brown refers to that bar as a "chassis" stiffner only. That's why it doesn't say "roll bar".

And.. like said above, those side bars are not NHRA or IHRA legal.

If anyone calls them, find out what the shipping weight on this thing is.

the kenny brown "roll bar" also does not have a cross bar in the hoop. That is a main requirement for NHRA/IHRA legality (and probably every other racing sancation).
