Bolton cages, like harness bars, were originally developed for the show car and street/show car crowd.
I had a bolt in cage save my life in a rollover, don't discount the well built ones.

I had a NON caged bugeye save my life and my passenger's life in a 13+ rollover. Cages are dope, I want one... but the subaru was built really well from the factory.

Josh -- I've got an 2005 AP sitting here from when Paul parted out my 05STi, PM me if you're interested.
