Yeah I've been told I can't run at the track anymore lol.The watson drag race bar is 8.50 legal. Massive invasion into the interior tho. Cutting dash bars in and whatnot. Best bet would be to have one made that goes around the dash instead of through it, but then it would take up prime real estate getting into and out of the car. Sub 10 second becomes race car material. A ton of guys run faster and skirt the track rules until they can't.
Ben, do you guys have good pictures on s550's of where the rear diagonal bars come through the rear package tray and where it comes through the dash at?Thank you for the kind words guys!
Im happy to answer any questions you have about our kits.
Did you end up with a dash bar, or something that ties into steering column?unfortunately There is nothing cheap or quick about getting an 8.50 cert cage installed. Took about 40 hours just to re-install my interior after cage was fabbed, dropped through the floor, finish welded, paint, welded to floor plates, paint some more. If reputable shop does it right, you can expect to pay $6500-7500. Not sure of cost if you have someone install a pre bent kit.
I value my safety more than cutting any corners or being thrifty with this part of my car. Tin Soldier Racecars built my cage & did a phenomenal job. They will sell a pre bent kit based off my car. Ben @ FatFab sells a very good kit also. He’s a great guy to deal with & cuts no corners.
