At least $3500 in your checking account. The AD struts and GC hardware including CC plates will run around $2500. The wheels/tires will probably be another $1000.
Originally posted by PatScottAKA99XE No longer am I considering the Tein stuff. After hearing the great things said about AD dampers I am gonna save my pennies for those. Since my car is a mostly street driven car, my choice of rates will be around 400F and around 375R( notice I say "around"). It may take a lot of my paychecks to do, but what the hell. If I am gonna do it, I might as well do it right. Here is a Question for those who know. Does the chassis stiffness gained from a 6 pt cage outweigh the weight penalty? Is it even close?
Thanks for all the input people.
I think a cage really helps if you can live with it for a street car.
I think I can live with it. I do have some questions about the Autopower cages. I have a 4 door, do they make one to fit?
Is there a cross brace behind the front seats for harness attachment and seat-back braces? I am getting ahead of myself, gotta get the suspension first

I don't know about the autopower and 4 door. My 4 door cage is custom made and welded in.

That is an option I am considering(some of my co-workers do a lil race car fabication). I dont really like the idea of a bolt in cage anyway. I think you would not see the full stiffness benifits from a bolt in setup. On the other hand I have and want to keep full interior(I assume you are talking about the 99 SE-L race car). I can forsee tons more of work doing a weld in cage. Who knows, I am crazy enough to do it

I have an Autopower 4pt race roll bar in my 4 door B13 and it does have the cross bar, head restraint bar and harness bar as well. I had my bar bolted in but you can have them welded in also. Do you really want a 6pt in a street car? I think that's a little to much unless you plan to dedicate the car to full time racing (roadcourse). But the bar I have is great and I have the in-car camera mount as well made by Autopower as well. Autopower can *should* be able to make a bar for you car. It took Autopower about 4-5 weeks to make my bar but it was worth the wait!
Autopower does make a 4pt. roll bar for the four-door B14, I think you can get it at I-O Port Racing supplies I wouldn't mess with a 6 pt. on the street either, as it would be cumbersome and slightly dangerous having a solid metal bar inches from your head.
