are these any good? dont really fancy taking out the back seats etc for a full cage, thought this might be a good option? the gti is going to be lowered 40/50mm ... would it be a waste of time putting a cage in as its lowered?

Maybe i'm being thick here, but what relevance is the car being lowered to having a show cage? :huh:
-
if its lowered your less likely to roll it ..... surely?

If you're planning on rolling the car then surely a proper cage would be more suitable than a show cage? :wink:

:grin: What he said. Cage will make no structural difference to your car as it is a show cage, does exactly what it says on the tin. Cages are designed to a) make your chassis a bit more rigid, and 2) stop the car caving in on you in a crash. Lowering makes no difference to either of these tihngs.

not planning on rolling it but on the way home today i saw an escort that had rolled ended up in the middle of a field and well it didnt look good :undecided:
if it doesnt offer any structural benefits il forget it :)
would you reccomend front and rear strut braces? :smiley:

Never driven a car with them personally so can't say, but i wouldn't hestitate to recommend a set of Eibach anti-roll bars to anyone! The difference they make is immense :smiley:

cool, so Eibach anti-roll bar, front and rear strut brace and lowered 50mm, should handle nice :evil: :laugh:

Show cages are worse in a crash than nothing at all. Hence being called ''show''.

Good plan mate :) Still wont stop you from rolling into a field if the car comes off sideways tho ;)
