I had a side impact into the rear between the door and the wheel with a lamp post at over 50mph 6 years ago on my first mr2 and it was pretty much undamaged, its pretty strong there.

I was hoping for a door impact picture, I want to know if the bars would cave into the seats as I believe they would, I know this is unlikely on the track, but its likely on the road. This is why I am preffereing a rollbar with 4 point fixing for road use.

Any opinions?

Any pictures of one installed in a car with the interior replaced, I am wondering how much you have to loose, just seen rogues pics of it installed but with no seats or interior.

You have to cut a big chunk of the dash away too, I know its a rollcage but there must be a way to design around it?
