6 pt Roll Bar Kits - NJFBOA - Home of New Jersey's Camaros and Firebirds

KirkEvil · 10-30-2010, 12:28 PM

Any one have suggestions for 6 pt roll bar kits? After looking through all the kits, Im leaning towards a wolfe cromoly weld in, low slung door bars, no swing outs, and straight rear bars.

Thoughts/advice?

Wolfe kits happen to be on sale this weekend...they're killing me, haha.

Im not looking for anything crazy. I have a buddy that will TIG the bar in for me. Thanks though!

So looks like Im going with a wolfe...How much work should I expect to do to fit a bar if I dont opt for the jig notching?

I have a bolt in Wolfe bar if your interested... probably gonna cut my car up...never even put it in.

BarneyMobile · 10-31-2010, 11:48 AM

I have the wolfe chrome moly 6 point in my car and it fits very well. Btw, get swing outs. Im glad I did. you can take the door bars out when your not on the track. Door bars on the street get annoying fast!

KirkEvil · 10-31-2010, 12:35 PM

Chris, PM'd you.

Im not really into the swingouts/removable door bar. I dont want to deal with aligning it, possible rattling, and taking it in and out. I feel like it would also weaken the bar geometry. maybe Im just whining, haha

BarneyMobile · 10-31-2010, 01:14 PM

When I have my door bars in, they dont rattle at all. Just make sure you research opinions on swing-outs vs solid door bars. I say this because, many people will tell you that putting a roll cage/bar, ruined the car for them. I left my door bars in for a week with out using the swing-outs. It didnt take long for me to be sick of climbing over door bars. My door bars only go in when I'm racing.

ALOT!!!!
I've done it several times.....without a notcher & with one ! Spend the lil extra $ and it will save you hours of in & out,grind it, fit it, grind it some more, fit again, up.... just alil more grinding, fit it, ....uh oh grinded too much, Gotta weld it a lil extra there now......
Get what I'm sayin!!!

p.s. And after all that punishment I decided to build my own up & foward turbo headers.....

Raist103 · 11-04-2010, 08:57 AM

i didnt have a wolfe bar but the swing outs in my gn i hated never again solid low bars for me.

sweetbmxrider · 11-04-2010, 09:17 AM

just curious, why did you hate them?

camaroracer1992 · 11-04-2010, 10:20 AM

had swing outs in mine first, f'n things rattled constantly over every damn bump, etc. just go solid bars and get them bent to make it easier to get in/out of the car.

When you are not racing, why not just remove them? No rattle then.

sweetbmxrider · 11-04-2010, 12:43 PM

yup, that is one nice thing about them. though you are left with the mount on the floor which can be quite the ankle biter.

coolmanvette75 · 11-04-2010, 02:24 PM

my dad has swingouts with his 6pt cage in his vette. no rattling from the bars (even though the rest of the car is one big rattlebox

) and it makes it 10x easier to get in and out of the car

^^^^^ Exactly!! I leave my door bars out when not at the track. Even when I have my door bars in, they don't rattle. Wolfe makes a great 6 point! If you drive the car alot, door bars are only cool for the first week.

KirkEvil · 11-10-2010, 04:46 PM

Anyone ever heard of Spohn's roll bar kits? They sell a CM 8 pt weld in kit that comes pre-notched for cheaper than the wolfe 6 pt with no options...

sweetbmxrider · 11-10-2010, 07:13 PM

i've only seen them on the site, never saw them being discussed online though.

S.J.SLEEPER · 11-10-2010, 09:43 PM

98% of Spohn's products are top notch. Make sure to look @ type/grade of steel the 2 cages are made up of. If its cheaper, its probably a lower gradeof steel.

I do suggest Chromely, lighter & stronger.

198esp1 · 11-11-2010, 12:36 AM

chromoly is not lighter than mild steel, Chromoly can use a thinner wall thickness, thats were you get the wait savings.
