Its possible to fit them around the rear seats but obviously you need to drill holes in the car to fit.

Dont forget if you want a full cage you will need to butcher the dash and the door cards.

Only people i know that do cages specialise in full race spec stuff (they did our DTM car) Probably a bit OTT for what your looking for but il get the number later if you want

depends if the car is RHD or LHD and iff you have a sunroof or not !!

rear seat wont have to come out, but some mods will have to be done to the bolsters !!

IMO best cages on the market would be a custom cages cage, def not a road car cage and you loose all the rear area, looking at circa £1k fitted

Most cages go through the rear bulk head, SD, OMP, Sparco all do e30 cages circa £500 fitted

These are all motorsport cages, is that what you after?
