not just a safety thing... it increases the rigidity of the vehicle, thus affecting overall handling as well

While its cool and what not and does stiffen everything up, the added safety bonus is destroyed by the thought of your head bouncing off of a piece of steel tubing in an accident!!!

If installed correctly, very true, but incorrectly and there goes your spine. And the majority on this site are installed incorectly.

^^^^unfortunatly u r correct. lets just hope, in the sense that roll cages are above the normal mod scope, that more experienced people are dealing with these...

dealing with schroth harnessness with ASM though...

it's really hard to mess up installing them incorrectly... even installing them in ways that would be otherwise harmful using other harnesses... is okay with these ones..

if anyone could take a pic of the rear foot well area for me that would be really helpful. I would love to get this but my water/meth tank is right behind my seat.

^ How did you go about placing your order? Did you just call and order the roll cage for a tC? Or did you have to do measurements and what not?

they already have the specs, you will have to order through dezod because Autopower doesn't take orders directly from their site...which sucks for me since they are so close

we got ours before they offered them for the tc so we had to have some custom stuff done up and take all the measurements and we got it from autopower but it was a while ago.
