A roll cage SHOULD NEVER be just for looks. A roll cage is primarily a safety item and it's secondary purpose is a chasis brace. It just so happens that they look rad as shit.

I would agree that the cusco/safety21 cages leave a lot to be desired from an engineering standpoint. In the real world though they do their job alright. NEVER buy an autopower cage, they fit like a giant steaming pile of donkey shit. The cusco/safety21 cages fit much better. If you are going to buy a cage you should always get a through dash cage at least. Those s-bends are VERY disconcerting from an engineering standpoint. They will work fine most of the time, but there is a quite good chance that they will fail. I will guarantee you that any cage that meets scca specs will also meet D1 specs as long as all the required bars are present. FYI any cage with an s-bend around the dash is NOT legal for redline time attack events either.

Are you SURE?

I thought for SURE cages were mostly for an aesthetic point...

LOL. Brian with you everything is an aesthetic point! They do look rad as all hell though so I would consider a dope ass cage an aesthetic point as well!

Sorry to revive this but I did a search and found this thread because I am installing a cage for my car.

You Cusco haters talk like they hire engineers straight out of preschool. The only problem is that they just happen to work very well so far.

If u don't like Cusco that's awesome.

But to talk shit about them after seeing them in action is ignorant. Fuck this "what if" bullshit. Fact is that no one died in cars that crashed with cusco cages so far.

Even with the S-Bends. Keep on hating...
