Hey Mikey, are those prices just for a F-body or is it the same for others?

What would be the price for a 4 point? Would you guys be able to do a bolt-in version or just the weld-in? I'm very tall so the main loop that runs along the roof of the car will need to be set back slightly so my helmet isn't in contact.

Roughly F_body prices matt. It will be close for other cars too. For the 4 point, i can probably have something done for you. As far as bolt in i'd have to see. I think we can do that for you though.
Mike

Everyone has enough HP to roll their car over, just cause the car isnt superfast doesnt mean its stupid proof. Not sayin you'd do that.

I need to save a bit more money and buy a rear first. I've started autocrossing and want to open track, so I'm looking for a 4 point roll bar to mount a 5 point harness to.

Mike, what all needs to come out of the car? I will need to leave at least the driver seat in so I can drive it down there. How much weight savings is there to go from MS to CM?

All of the interior panels need to be loose, the side moldings that run by the lower door, so take all screws out of that, the sail panels need to be loose, if there's t-tops you'll have to take the two screws on each side and remove the little plasic peace on each side. The carpet needs to be completely loose also, the rear deck lid needs those two little anchors pulled out. We will need all of the interior panels, and the front two seats. They can be completely unbolted or just leave two bolts in it if you want. the seatbelts need to not be bolted down to the floor on either side. Obviously, all of the rear seat needs to be out also. I think thats it as of right now. I cant think of anything else...
