Default Suggestions Autopower Roll bar suppliers

I am planning on getting the Race Roll bar with removable harness & cross brace bars. (shown below) for my 95 coupe. Any suggestions on places to get it from?
I know IO port has them but they list them as 3-4 weeks to get, is that all Autopower vendors? Also anyone with their experiences with the rollbars.
Thanks A LOT.

We're here in San Diego, and the Autopower facility is 15 minutes from our place. They are really cool people, and can help you out if you call them directly.

When I was shopping for a roll bar from a vendor, they told me the same thing, 3-4 week wait.

When I went directly to Autopower, I was able to talk to them, tell them my situation, and they helped me immediately (meaning 3 days for a roll bar). I didn't need it painted, so that may have helped the process along... and my lucky charms.

Rick and Don and Cindy are very cool people at Autopower...

No promises, but I would give em a call directly...

Most vendors do not stock applications for the roll bars since they take up a lot of room. I have delt with I/O Port in the past and they have always been great. You will get your bar sooner if you don't want it painted, but the removable stuff will add some time. You'd be lucky to find one in stock anywhere.

I/O Port was great for me! Got padding and zip ties and other stuff too.

I/O did a good job for me. I had the same style of bar in my street 89 Civic.

that must be their normal turn around time because they told me the same thing and I was just asking, wasn't in a hurry. took them a couple hours to add a harness bar on my roll bar that I took in.

I see that you have a 95 coupe. Will the Autopower with the harness bar removed allow for relatively easy rear seat access?

I need to be able to carry 4 people in the car once in a while... and people already complain that the car is a pain to get in and out of...

also, its not safe for the rear passangers to be surrounded by metal (padded or not) since the rear legs will extend into the rear passanger area

I'd suggest calling http://www.kirkracing.com/ in Al. IMHO, they are better and cheaper than autopower for many applications.
