6-point rollbar

Okay, I can't believe I am asking this but, where is the best place to get a 6 point rollbar for a Z06 that you can live with when your not at the track?????

Ask Dan at FLP, he can probably hook you up! I've also heard that ECS does a good roll bar, then there's the Wolfe bars, but someone has to install it. Good Luck!

I installed the wolfe race craft 5 point in my car. The side bar can be bolted in and out very easily so it takes nothing away from daily drivability (expect for an obstruction in the rear view mirror caused by the main hoop) The quality and fit is pretty good and the install was going real smooth until I realized they sent me a side bar that would not fit (it was swing out vs bolt out and would not match up with the connection point on the main hoop). It has now been several months and they have still not sent me the correct one. Apparently, they sent my sidebar to some other c5 owner and they are waiting on him to send mine back in.

I have not been hounding them too bad, since I still have some other track preparation mods in the works, but they are about to start getting a daily nastygram.

If anyone wants any info on bars give me a call and I can send you some pics to look at.. We are more expensive then the Wolfe but there is absolutely no comparison in fit and quality of the bars. The Wolfe bars are illegal for the C5. The last kits we saw had the bar sandwiched in the floor which is totally illegal.. Ours are welded in to the frame.

I have a pewter 5 point bar with swing out bar from ECS. Fit and finish is top quality.
