I know this has been answered before, but I couldnt find it. Is there any interchangability between the S13 coupe and hatch cages by autopower. Im talking about the full bolt in cage, not the rollbar. Looking at pictures it seems like the mounting locations for the rear wheelwells and front footwells are similar, but its impossible to judge height.

Specifically I am looking to put a non-sunroof hatch cage into a non-sunroof coupe.

Thanks for the input.

Checked it out today. The main hoop and a-pillar bars are the same. The rear is different. Hatches have more rear wheel well exposed. For the coupe it will be just a few snips to make it fit fine.

A few snips? Better have a reputable cage shop handle those snips. Just because you make a cage fit doesn't mean it's structurally as strong as the one engineered for your chassis anymore. It's your safety though.

No worries, its a very small amount of material. Not enough to affect the structural integrity of the car.
