In anticipation of getting one of these cars and knowing my intentions were to get it on the track, I went ahead and ordered a Studio RSR half-cage and the Skidmarkgarage.net rear seat delete kit. I felt the half-cage would be exactly what I needed and judging from the pics I found on this forum and the pics on StudioRSR's website it looked perfect! It took about a month to get here but once it arrived I eagerly unpacked it!
Dismayed at what I found is putting it lightly. I'm familiar with bolt-in cages and the minimum requirements for sanctioned motorsports events (CACC in Canada, SCCA etc.). First thing to catch my attention was the provision for only 2 bolts at each mounting point. 3 is the minimum allowed. Second was the lack of backing plates. I figured they had just been overlooked in the packing process, since they were clearly shown in the pics on their website (along with 4 holes!). Third was the skimpy little washers that were included with the bolts. Not good! The 2 sections of the bar are really good though and I particularly am impressed with the two connection points for the 2 sections. I followed up with S RSR and they told me that lots of people use 2 bolt bars with no problem and that the picture of the 4 hole backing plates in the ad were just to show the quality of the cut edges of the steel and that backing plates are not part of the Camaro kit. I voiced my displeasure and said that I'd figure something out. I must add that they offered to send me some backing plates but I haven't seen any.
