Default S & W racecars cages quality & fit?

in comparison to wolfe cages they are like 1/2 the price, just wondering if anyone has any experience with one of their 8 pt fbody cages and how it fits in comparison to wolfe or other cages on the market.

Thanks
Bill

I've heard some great things about them. I also heard that they will bend the door bars like Wolfe does on their's. If I had of know that I would have probrably bought an S&W.

I bought one 3rd hand and installed it myself. You will need a pipe bender to install this kit. Every pipe is jig notched but straight. I even needed to bend the hoop in slightly on the bottom. But it came out great with a lot of TLC and patience.

I probably wouldnt do the install myself but you think a compitent shop could do it fairly easy...just a couple of bends im assuming?

if your not doing it yourself let the shop get/make the bar it wont be any cheaper if you buy the bar,it could windup costing you more bob
