Check out a previous post on this sublect on the 4 th page of the tech posts ........Bottom line is that .O83" CM saves approximately 30% in weight over .134" wall ERW . ..............and added value to your car , But weigh the cost versus the weight , especially if you will need to add a lot of weight to make the class min weight. .............CM tube will provide no more rigidity over MS when the required wall thickness' are used ..... Rigidity and structural integrety come from proper bar placement and anchoring............... There are MANY killer performing cars that have a MS roll bar in them ........Tom
