a universal cage is that. universal.
kens custon, s and w, to name 2.

are you going to install yourself?
have a shop do it?

if weight isnt an option, mild is fine.
if it isnt and you can tig, moly is the way to go.

Forget the kits. Support your local cage builder. You'll get a lighter, better fitting cage for not that much more money.

IIRC havaspeed.com is up in your neck of the woods.One of the best builders in the country. Andrew Havas. Let him know that Scott from Izzy's Custom Cages sent you his way

I'm all about supporting the local builders, but like in my case, I can weld and fabricate, but would prefer to purchase a pre-built FIA spec cage just to save on time and money, and weld it in myself.

That's where I got mine for my Omni. They can make whatever you want, they have a template you fill out and they bend.
