roll cages and SFcs

You need ROll cages when you're in the 11s right? Is 4 point good enough?
Anyway, would it give me enough structural rigidty? Or would I need to use both the roll cage and SFCs?

How much do 4 points weigh?

Basically, a 4 point won't do **** for your structural rigidity. I suppose they may add some safety factor but no real performance gain. If you're looking for added rigidity, go with a 6 or 8 point system. I don't know if anyone is trying to sell them but don't even waste your time with a "bolt in" roll cage kit.
