Cusco 7pt Chromoly Roll Cage in my '02 WRX
And a lot more photos at : http://chi-z.org/pub/team_prototype_..._7pt_chromoly/
The center and rear pieces mounted exactly as the measurements in the directions said, but the front pieces over the doors were quite off. As you can see in the close up shots on my site, there's almost no clearance unlike the photo on the instructions.

You did the install yourself?
Where did you get the roll cage from?
Any noticable differences in handling?

>The handling is much nicer. Less body roll and less road vibration. But then again, in addition to the Cusco cage, I've also got almost the entire line of Cusco suspension related parts too(installed myself as well)...

Nice cage. I have had one since day 3 of me owning my WRX.
What do you mean by road vibration?
This cage is great. It does not get in the way of everything.

dont get me wrong i love it, but just seems , for my life style, i need my car more space right now.
I tried to put a monitor box in the sube and that DIDNT fit, so i know that roll cage wouldnt help either, HENCE, why i woult need a beater to do daily things if I had that roll cage

It was just under $900 plus shipping.
And until I put in a few option bars it doesn't affect passenger space at all,
well unless you try to sit a very tall person in the back, they may bump their head if you hit a bump or dip really hard.
