autopower roll bar, doesn't work a TON for protection, but great for a little something and allows you to use harnesses if you want.

Just know that it is easier to crack your head open on a roll bar. If you have no reason to put a roll bar in I would leave it out of the car. Autopower is good too.

i dont have a problem with cars with a roll bar at all. if the bar stays behind the driver, theres not much reason to worry. i think theres a lot of benefit in safety of a rollbar. and it is the only proper way to mount a harness and use a race seat.
i DO have a problem with a rollcage, which has forward positioned bars inches from the head. theres no reason to have a full 6 point rollcage on a street car.

I had the 6 point bolt in cage from autopower and It was fine, just anoying to get in and out of, so I just boltedin the back half and it works just fine. I have the 5-point and the 3-point. But the cage is nice and fit well. I know there is no point to having a cage on my low CRX but it was free and I was bored

It goes to the part where your struts for the hatch mount to the body of the car.

You probably wouldn't bolt to the c-pillar bar, you would use a wrap around style belt. I realize this might seem like a cheap alternative to you, but seriously, spend a couple bills and just get a roll bar, it IS safer and more practical. If you don't want to go through the hassle of a roll-bar, don't go through the hassle of harnesses.

Re: (VeilSide_Mas)
Agreed that the full cage is just asking to get your head cracked open wide. that is, of course, unless you plan to daily drive with a helmet on. (Highly unlikely) Roll bar is ok for street use, and it's the ONLY way to properly use a harness.
Please do not attach your harness to your rear strut bar, c-pillar bar or any other misc. bar back there.
From what I remember, the 3-point systems are not street legal. I think the only street legal harness is the Schroth Rally Cross
