Default roll bars and roll cages?

can anyone tell me the top best places to get a roll bar/cage?
it would be nice to find one that still allowed for the storage of the top and maybe ahd the disconnecting peices that go in front of the doors
i cant seem to think of any companies that make them right now

With all the requirements you are looking for, you will need to get a custom made cage/bar. That way you can get everything exactly as you want it, bar placement etc.

Well AutoPower makes a very nice 4 pt roll bar. Its actually an approved bar. Not sure who else still makes C4 bars anymore.

Like I said, check your local area for race car fabricator guys. They can build anything if they are good.

I just had a 4 point roll bar made and installed at S&W and I'm very pleased with the quality. They also sent it out and had it powder coated to match the car. It's a bolt in that ties into the rear swing arm mounts with a cross bar and diag. bar to meet SCCA standards. Give them a call at 610-948-7303 and ask for Scott.
Good luck,
Joe
