Default Street cage for G2 Integra.

I have tried the search button I can't get any real results

Ok, I am after a half cage just for the rear of the car (2door integra) that will provide protection if I roll it but also, improve the handling. I am wondering what the best design would be for me, I really want to make the car stiff as possible, to improve handling. Thanks for any help

Search would likely not have helped, scrolling down might have.

That's called a roll bar.

Try Autopower.

Cool... it will be custom shipping would be absolute death, I am in New Zealand What I need to know is where would be the best places to mount it for rigidity and protection!

I have to disagree that a 4-point bar will significantly improve stiffness. Torsionally (in twisting) the bar mounted at its ends has a cross section of Pi times the diameter of the tube - and long arms to the mounts. I am having a VERY hard time imagining a way it could be loaded that any of its elements are in tension or compression without a diagonal (big assumption there, on my part, from the word "street"). With a diagonal, it is better but I still challenge anyone to prove that performance is enhanced. The additional mass might well offset ANY gains - if they exist.
