Default roll bar questions

hey guys, i've been looking to get an roll bar for my s2000, but not really familar with roll bar/roll cage stuff... so which one is it that only goes around behind the seat and not over the side or anything like that? and where can i buy one at that will also be able to close the soft top with it?

any info will help please!

i know hard dog and cusco sell 4 points and yes they do clear soft top and hard. if you get one make sure you buy one with a harness bar because i suspect that your gonna be tracking your car.

yeah you want the 4 point and like i said ask for the one with harness bar. There are better rollbars than cusco. look into other brands and research the pros and cons.

go with the Hard Dog. not the best looking but the most functional.

thanks for that post, i always wonder how to really install them, so every roll cage... i would have to cut from underneath?

i really like Cusco but my interior is all red so i kinda wanted an fully polished one or maybe an black one, didn't really want an blue cage

not all roll bar requires cutting under the car. only the Hard Dog or similar design requires cutting. Carbing makes a polish aluminum roll bar for the s2k (4 point or 6 point)

check this post for pics of various roll bar and cage.

With the carbing you will have to uninstall your soft top.
