Do you have a picture of it installed or details of where it bolts to, etc? Also I'm assuming the roll bar allows for harness mounting the same way the one from meridian did?
Thanks! Last edited by edconline; 12-03-2011 at 08:46 PM. |

Guys ill nip this one now. The site auto censors any links from that site. For more info you will have to ask AK.
Bottom line i walked away with when i made the mistake and linked stuff from them (a while back in a similar thread) is that if they have been blocked by AK for whatever reason then their business is not worth my time. Just a heads up. In addition their bar is part weld in part bolt in. So you weld in the supports and then the bar or cage bolts on to it. For a full weld in option you can check out some of the pictures in my profile. My cage and theirs is almost identical with the exception mine is all one-piece.

Thanks for the info, I noticed that too after tracking down the actual manufacturer. If you mouse over the link and look at the end of the garbage, you can see the manufacturer name. It does say on their site that most applications are bolt in only, requiring no welding but I can see some of the cages needing welding perhaps. The 370Z is not listed on the site, however the 350Z has the full range of products available so I assume they make them all for the 370 as well.
I have zero interest in having one custom made for me, the only option that will work for me is something pre-made, and entirely bolt in so I'm hoping that if the one from Meridian is no longer available, these guys will come thru. Definitely need more info on it like installed pictures, whether it is entirely bolt in and price. Weight would be nice too, obviously being a roll bar and not just a harness bar it will be heavier but by how much. |

What effects (positve or negative) does a roll cage have on handling in our car? I had a harness bar in my last car that tied the b-pillars together and it seemed like it reduced body flex and added stiffness to the chassis. Turn-in was tighter and the car felt like it handled a lot better overall. Would this hold merit in a Z car that has a bolt-in cage?

Actually, I think he is saying that vendor may or may not be crap, but is blocked from this site, not the actual manufacturer of the part.

Got it. Thanx for clearing that up.
I was going to say, the roll bar I got from them appears to be of very good quality. For what it's worth, I had no issues in my experience buying this from Outerperformance. But, I understand how these things go. |

The bolts that go through the mounting plates and hold the brace are about 8", but replacement braces do not use these bolts, instead they bolt to where the mounting plates attach on the side of the chassis. Those bolts are only about 1" long.
