Most competition cars are using custom cages. Some alternatives on a a budget are Autopower or Kirk Racing.

What do you intend to use the car for? If this is a street car, then you are building a death trap by putting a cage in it. If this is for a dedicated track car, then custom is the only way to go. But if you are building a car for Hot Import Nights, then look for anything with stickers on it.

you'd be suprised what crap cage designes people are racing with. mine's no gem, but its nice and simple. i've seen 'high dollar' cars with 'custom' cages that need to be cut out and re-done. but they work and the cars run well reguardless of cage design, bolt in, weld in, ect
