My personal opinion, is that roll-over bars and cages should designed
and built to suit each individual person/car combination. I do not believe
that an 'off-the-shelf' roll-bar suits everyone. Case in point, my Midget
had an 'off-the-shelf' roll-over bar and I was rear-ended by a Minivan
(< 5mph). my head went backwards and struck the top of the roll-bar. I
was knocked out by the very item that was supposed to portect me. i ditched
that roll-bar and had a custom roll-bar fitted which was 2 inches higher and
slightly further away from my shoulders.
Guess what ? the custom roll-bar was actually cheaper than the off-the-shelf
item. So my advice, is got to a place which fabricates race-cars and ask
them
for a roll-bar which fits YOU. I think you may be surpised by the price
