If you want to do it right, have a custom bar made and do not attach to the stock crosstube.

There is no doubt that it is the best OTS bar available, but is WAAAY deficient for proper safety on a track (or highway for that matter). Issue will be the fixation points of the 'roll bar' linked above. thats why i added that a removable cross bar in a diagonal direction would be good to have, one that you put in for driving in the twisties or track days, but remove for daily use. In rollover case, the bar will not be the problem.

It stiff the chassis during transversals movements. The OEM tube that support the soft-top to locking is very thin. 01 Spyder - Blue wrap, black hardtop, K20A2 swap, MFactory Helical LSD, Nine Lives Racing wing, single-diag HardDog rollbar, custom Magnaflow exhaust, DGR coilovers (8.5kF/10kR), Cs short shifter, TR Motorsports 15X8 225/45r15 tires daily, Kosei 15X9 245/40r15 track, 2200lbs race ready. I would have to answer more questions on track days, but then I would be able to take that car to National SOLO events. (Edited) Efficiency of those styles bars negative.So if I slide backwards, I'll be wearing it around my neck, or maybe through my neck or something like that.ĭo I wish I had never bought it? Undecided. The backtubes mount to the crosspiece that holds the top, which is VERY weak and would not stand up to longitudinal sliding forces.

Do I think it will help in an accident? Probably not.Įven though the AP does not have the required number or sizing of mounting bolts, that is not what worries me. The Spyder probably has strobe lights and a smoke machine. The group that I do track days with accepts the AP, but STILL require me to sign a waiver. I have an AP in one Spyder that I use for track days, and a custom bar in another Spyder that I use for SOLO II, and eventually SOLO I.
