Just wanted to let you guys know that I got an email today from Yuki. He said if you emailed him about the cage you are basically added to a list of people who they will contact once they have new information about the cage Wouldn't be surprised if more of you got the same email. He said they are pretty busy at the moment too!

Just an FYI, I would just like anyone to know that is considering the RPM rollbar/cage, the bar behind the seats is EXTREMELY limiting. It mounds nearly 4-5 inches in front of the OEM support bar, limiting how far back you can put your seats. Anyone over the height of ....5'10", I would highly suggest avoiding this cage.

We have a local install it in the Moshimoto 370z, and the kid that drives it around is like 5'6". He's been trying ot sell the car for the past 2 years "as-is", but no one can fit in the car! LOL

Damn that sux. I just installed brides and I definitely lost a little bit of room already because of the metal bar in the rear that allows the seat to be folded down. I'm not sure I would have much room to spare. That cage looks amazing though

The RPM rollbar does limit how far the seat goes back. I'm 6 foot and I have no issue with it. I like my seat a little closer to the wheel and peddles though. I would also think having a race seat would gain some space back because they are thinner and built more upright.

This looks pretty and all for the show no go group, but I want to reiterate that this cage is much less safe than stock.

For NASA, or any other track day group, if you are wearing harnesses you need a proper diagonal in the main hoop (behind the seats). This will fail a thorough inspection.

I also suspect the main hoop is not tall enough for most drivers

Ok, since searching before posting seems to be a common thing I will provide you the information from RPM's web site:

Why risk getting kicked off the track?
Look no further at so called NHRA/SCCA legal roll bars.
This is the only 100% welded, 100% legal, 100% removable, built to SFI standards, on the MARKET and in the INDUSTRY. We guarantee the bar will pass tech, or we'll buy it back!

5 Point NHRA Legal, including door swing out, with standard coating.
6 Point and 4 Point options are available along with SCCA and NASA cross bar.
Call Now to Order - 877-201-8910.

As I stated before, mine has a tag stating it will meet SCCA standards!!!!

Not talking about the RPM bar. Talking about OP. On topic. I don't want anyone to be confused as to the design, safety, or legality of the cage that this thread is all about.
