I am thinking of putting a cage in my 1991 Civic for more chassis stiffnes. Would this cage be functional or would it flex to much because it has no door bars or some diagnols. What do you guys think??




btw I'm from Belgium, so sorry if my English isn't that good.

 

Because it's a bolt in cage and the front portion is also bolted together, it won't do much for chassis stiffness.

 

A cage should only be for safety.

 

dont waste your money man...

The first priority is always safety but is by no means the only purpose of a proper cage. A "properly" designed cage can work miracles on a road race car due to added stiffness and rigidity to the chassis.

Bolt in cages can be effective but that doesn't look like it will do much for safety or chassis stiffness.

 

Thanks for the input.
I'll just go for the strut and tie bar combo then.

 

don't think that would pass most racing organizations rules. there are too many bends in the main hoop.

 

A roll cage shouldn't have crumple zones.
