I like my Wolfe 6-point (actually an 8 point) and I've always heard good reports from others as well. For me, once I got used to hopping over the bar, I forgot it was there. Now when I get in and out of my wife's car (with no cage) I almost fall on my face because I've gotten used to putting my weight on the bar. If you have long arms and legs it will help. Some people sit on the bar to get in and out, but I really just swing over it.

When you install it, try to get the upper hoop as close to the roof as possible, even pushing against the head liner is good. That will maximize your head room, especially if you wear a helmet while driving.

The eight point is exactly like the 6 point, except for a pair of short tubes that bace the main hoop to the floor. Helps to keep the main hoop from just punching through the floor in a roll over, and trianglates it for more stiffness. Kinda destroys the the back seat leg room, but who the hell is going to sit back there anyway?

No, the standard bar like I have doesn't go through the speakers. They have some pics on the Wolfe website, but I think you have to look at the full cage to see the standard rear mount pictures.

You just order them from Wolfe when you order the roll bar, it's an option that's listed there somewhere. It's only another $35 or so.
