I have heard good things about the wolfe. I think thats what i'm gonna go with when it comes time for me. Spohn for the most part makes good a good product so I would not hesitate to go with anything of theirs as I run all of their rear suspension stuff and have no problem getting out of the hole.

I would stay away from the APC seats unless you wanna get flamed bad on here. APC is usually a company reserved for ricers.

Does the Wolfe cage that goes through the factory speaker covers in the rear allow you to still have a spare tire? I mean, does the bar go back far enough that a spare will no longer fit in the stock location?

Spare still is in there. Also you just need to move the speakers a little towards the bumper, they are still there too.

Todd2001SS,
You are a mad man! Your car is the cleaniest F-Body I have ever seen.

How did you get the roll bar to go thru the speaker cover so perfectly?

Another vote for the Wolfe roll bar. They have the best fitting mail order bars and cages IMO, but they are alittle more money. I run Corbeau seats and Stroud harness', it was all a complete bolt in 1 day project. Here's a couple of pics for you (my door bar is alittle beat up from the metal piece on my shoulder strap).

Thanks

GM Muscle's seats look like Forzas. I'm running a Wolfe 10 point cage and Kirkey seats. I started to polish the cage but it was too much for me and I couldn't get it to bling like Todd's stuff. Plus Todd advised that it would rust pretty quick which it does unless I clear coat it so I'm just going to paint it a silver hammertone finish. I started yesterday and will probably finish it today.

Yep the seats are Forza's, they're half decent for a daily driver but they are single peice without an adjustable back.

I run IHRA and can run as quick a 9.0 with this bar. Technicly the rear bars are suposed to be welded to hoop. I like to do reserved test and tunes/rentals days so they just give the car a quick once over and send me on my way. Last I knew the bar is legal to 10.0 at NHRA tracks but the same thing applies with the rear bars.

I don't have any more pics right now. If it doesn't snow today I'll probrably uncover it and run some gas stabil through it and snap acouple of shots. I asume that you want to see the lower half of the seats?

Or you could have taken advantage of the Holiday sale directly from Wolfe - I got 20% off my roll bar that I just ordered on Sunday!
