Default How hard is it..

To put a hoop in the C5s? Specifically the FRCs? I'm seriously considering picking up a harness bar and harness to run autocross/road races with, but it's not SCCA legal without a cage/hoop. Anybody have any experience with this?

For now, I don't plan on doing enough to justify a cage, though if that's the best option, I suppose I'll have to deal with it....

I saw you got suggested to post this in here and then got suggested to post again in autocross.....don't worry, you're not getting the runaround :D

Hopefully someone will chime in with some answers, there are more than a few people here that are familar with cages and rollbars, etc :cheers:

A. Yep - Post in the autocross/roadracing forum.

B. You can't get a standalone hoop. You want a rollbar, which will also take the place of a harness bar. In order of safety: Roll cage, roll bar, harness bar.
