To me, the front part makes it difficult to get in and out of on a regular basis.

And the back bar is quite a bit lower than what Ron specified as "needed" in the 'prints I got.

I'm going to probably compromise somewhere between the two.

I guess the line is, "whatever you can live with?"

And that's the million dollar question. Just don't know until you put it all in. My wife is telling me to put the full cage and seats for safety, and I quote, "Yes it might be hard to get in and out of, but at least you'll climb out and not have to be carried out because your hurt".

Last time I had a Cage with Door Bars in a Street Car, I got used to the contortions of getting in & out!

200+ mph......? You already got your answer!

You can have removable side bars that are not the hokey pin in style but real solid bars. I have these for my door bars and my back bar for the belts. LOVE them!!

plan to run speed events or push the limits of yourself and the car? full cage.

I'm at the same junction with my own car. I'm best off caging it the way I drive regardless, even at track days/lead follow or the highway.

Unibody muscle cars (camaros especially) do not hold up well in crashes. In fact its scary to see photos. My biggest problem is that my headrest goes beyond the rear window front trim (b-pillar if there was one) Its going to basically have to be in the back seat which I hate, but it could save my life
