My rear strut brace...
I dropped a rear strut brace in the e46 last week. It feels great! Looking back, now - I should have done this sooner. It's titanium - so it's super light. I didn't like the idea of cutting my trunk carpet - so I just pulled it all out.
Oh yeah - I pulled my passenger seat for the cage install (that didn't happen). That thing weighed a friggin ton. Seriously - I almost passed out carrying it up to our apartment, lol. Mmmm... drrrty carrrpet!

Not completely... cause I'm not trying to bash anyone's work... it's not Livermore Performance's fault - it's all on AutoPower in my book. I know the cage is made for a street car... but the gapping was rediculous. The front bar that extends across the top of the windsheild (but not very near it), was about 4-5 inches from where my forehead crests into my nose. Add padding to that, and I may as well been driving around with my head resting on it. Since this car will still be a streetable car - I need it safer than that.Silonius wrote:Is there a thread where you explain why the livermoreperformance.com roll cage is a death trap?
After some serious thought, and advise from several people with more experience than I, I decided that my safety, and my life are worth it to get a cage fabbed up that will protect me... not endanger me. I don't want to be cruising around towne in a death trap. I'm out $200 on the AutoPower cage... not to mention the cost of getting the cage fabbed - but it's all worth it. This is one expense for the car that I don't care about the cost.
