Default EG Safety Devices 15 point(!) bolt-in roll cage kit sounds NICE! Does anyone here have this kit and

We sell these kits but I have never seen one or heard comments from a owner with this kit.

From my email to a customer today about this kit:

Hi Caleb,

Thank you for the email.

Yes we have those kits available. I'll cut and paste from the Safety Devices Catalog.

Civic EG6 1991 - 1995 - no sunroof (sunroof kit is also available)

Multi - point bolt-in cage. Front cage runs through the
dashboard. Mounts to body shell at 15 points.
Rear cages available with fixed or removable diagonal.
Unique single door bars.
MSA/FIA homologated.
Certificate available from MSA tel.: 01753 681 736.

Front cage $453.23 USD
Rear ( fixed diag. ) $586.35 USD
Rear (removable diag.) $691.05 USD
Door bar N/S or O/S $92.11 USD Each side

Shipping to you is additional. We bring these in via air frieght and it is $170 USD for a rear only cage or $297 for the full cage. If you want the full cage we'll take a 10% off of the retail price quoted above.

This is a sweet kit! 15 points! NICE!

Give me call with any other questions or to order 877-739-1713.

Best regards,


Anyway I wanted to share it with the EG community and see if anyone here has one of these kits and would care to comment on it.

Or if you want to comment on it?

Sounds like a sweet kit to me!

yea you really need pictures

15 point dosent mean anything. also didnt list what type of metal used, ERW or DOM tubing. ERW isnt sanctioned for any road racing anymore (if its a new cage) and i think they can be grandfathered in for only a short time.

the more mounting points dosent mean its any safer than a better designed cage.

There is no better cage designer than Safety Devices. Each cage like the one above has been test by FIA/MSA in the UK and issued a homologation. It does not mean squat here other than it's a great cage though.

15-point? Umm, that's not going to be legal for the popular low-cost RR series here in the US.

Max for SCCA SS and IT is 8 points (6 points plus 2 optional braces). IT cars usually double as NASA HC cars too.

I'd hope this is at least 1.5"x.120" DOM tubing as well. And this is made in the UK and specifies EG6 - does that mean the top end of the diagonal in the same plane as the main hoop is going to attach on the right hand side?

Is there a picture of this thing?

Dang dude that's harsh! I am a HT sponsor and this is not a for sale thread I was just looking for opinions from folks who have this cage.

To others with questions about Legality I will say that it can be had in many form including a SCCA spec but now I am broching on a sales thread. IM me.

I'll get some photos up as well in the next couple of days since we seem to want to see them.

looks like it is missing the diagonal for the main hoop

which is important

and the anchor to the seat belt hole looks weak, and dangerous,

that will easily break off, and pierce you in the neck/head area

IMO you should be going all-or-nothing with a cage. If you need it for the kind of motorsport you're competing in then get one, otherwise leave it for the 'proper' race cars. In a road car a cage can/will do more harm than good in an accident, unless you drive to work in a harness belt and helmet....
Myke that cage looks good, does it go right thru to the front strut towers??
