Yes I under stand that, but it also does a lot for the structure of the cage itself. If you could find out that would be awesome. Because it will be there no matter if we have to do it ourselves. Gussets will be added on ours as well.

Thanks for the info.

I will have pics up today of the rear bars and door bars.

FWIW the 25.2 Cage kit is a pre fitted kit. Jig Notched. The floor bars are un welded. It is a hold and weld setup though.

Guys I spoke with SOS this morning to get some more information about the cage kits. The 10pt kits include the dash bar, and the floor bars are unwelded due to each car being a little different. Some car's are straight and some are tweaked. Their lead chassis builder has been in the business for 20+ years. You guys can count on one thing for sure. KY-Turbo is very selective on what products we sell. No junk being sold here!

You won't be unsatisfied when it comes to the great quality of this kit. These guys take pride in their work, and their reputation will back that up. For those that are going, I believe SOS will have a booth setup at the NMCA season opener....

I will be ordering one of these as well. We have looked at all the production kits and beleive this is the best engineered and well built kit out there. Probably within a month or so.
