Default wolfe roll cage compared to others? for 4th gen

looking to get a pre-bent mild steel 10 point cage

wolfe has theirs for $385 then 150 shipping to business and another 325 for jig notching

so a total about $860 for a wolfe 10 point

or spohns 10 point with pre-notched bars for 270 plus shipping



has anyone used the spohn cage kit? how does it fit along the doors etc?

Spohn's website says theirs are manufactured by S&W Race Cars.

I have a 8 PT Wolfe in Chromoly in my Mustang. The installer said he had never seen such a great quality bar in his career. The jig notching option is a MUST.

I'm a fan of Wolfe and their jig-notching...my buddy and I completely installed mine in under two hours (after the interior was already out).

No they are built for whatever car you order them for.

I have the wolf cage in my car the fit is perfect, thats all I can say perfect, went in great,, PAY THE MONEY FOR THE NOTCHED ends it is worth every penny. Had to bend and form some of the mounting plates, but not a big deal.. couldnt be happier with it.

I used an S&W cage in my 240z race car. I'm not impressed with the fit at all. I had to seriously modify the cage to make it work, and this was in a race car with no interior other than a drivers seat. Next time I'll just buy a tubing bender and make the whole thing from scratch.
