I'm looking to get an 8. rollbar so I can run a set of ET Streets out back. I'm undecided wether to get swing-outs, the kits that retain the factory arm rests, or to take the armrests out and use the straight bars for more room. The only thing I know for sure I want is the two bars going to the hatch that go over the rear seats keeping them semi-useful.

I used the www.swracecars.com version with the side bars that clear the arm rests. I originally installed the 10 point cage, but when I painted the car last spring, I cut it back to an 8 point bar. Here is a link to a bunch of pics I took.

Might have to C&P.

I'm not a fan of swing outs. You're putting a cage in for maximum strength and safety. I feel swing outs compromise some of that. I haven't heard of anyone getting hurt because they had swing outs, but it just doesn't seem like a good idea.
