Roll cages can be bolt in or weld in. And don't believe anyone that tells you the bolt holes will oval out unless they can show you an example. I have a few friends that run bolt in cages and their cars are solid - they are fourth gen cars and MAN are they stiff!! They have no problems at all with the bolts loosening or ovaling.

The only issue I see with that Kenny Brown one is that it is only a 6 point and is virtually worthless when it comes to drag racing as anything 11.99 or quicker needs an 8 point cage.....

I am in search of an easily installed 8 point bolt in cage. As I said earlier, a couple of my friends have the Wolf bolt-in cages in their fourth gens and they are extremely happy with them..... I think I might see how one of their fourth gen cages fit in my third gen ........ I mean the overall layout of the interior of the car is virtually identical........ hmmmmmmmmmm........

What will that cage from KB interfere with? Back seats don't matter, they are gone. Any trouble by the seat or seatbelts coming from the floor?

 

Technically you only need a 5 point bar. I used the S&W Race Cars bar http://www.swracecars.com/roll%20bars%26cages.html

Yep, sorry 'bout that, mine was a weld in. Bolt ins are not NHRA legal. Read this post.

If you are looking for a cage for SCCA and not NHRA, Autopower has several different bolt-in cages for third-gen Camaros.
