Stocker Roll Bar

[Lee Valentine]

Dan, I've used pre made kits from S&W and had good luck. Make sure the bar is installed as per the rule book.

^^ I agree.

Both of my Stockers have S&W kits.
Very pleased with their quality and customer service.


One thing I did find out after installing the kit in my 2009 Stocker :

If I had special ordered a "relaxed fit" main hoop cross bar with a 2-3 inch set back ( instead of the normal straight piece) then my seats could
have reclined further back. I did not know this until after I installed the kit.

Being a novice at roll bar installations, I can now see why chassis shops charge so much. To fit things right it takes a lot of time

This good information !!

Would like a Roll Bar setup where you can get out of the Seat easily without being Gumby !
Also be able to sit in the back seat.

Thanks

Dan:
here are the pics of the 09 Mustang.
Because the seat back did not lean back to it's normal position, I had to "flip" the head rests...otherwise with a helmet on there's no way I'd be comfortable. I may still cut the cross bar out and install a 2" setback version

Also, I think it may be tough to make it easy to sit in the back seat by following the current rules regarding roll bars. I tried to crawl under mine. Going over would be easier if I needed to.

I do like the fact that I can remove any of my seats easily

Looks really nice.
Like that my cars has 4 Doors..

Changing over to Stock is a pain..!
A Roll Bar is a wise safety item to add anyway.

Adding the last changes planned, document the results.
Will get the car closer to the 12.65 K/SA index.
Typically a 13.15/12.95 car during the season, figure 2 tenths left.
Cold day looking to hit a 12.45, best to date is a 12.65 at Cecil.

A new Stocker Cam should get the car to run 3 tenths under consistently.

BUT first the Roll Bar !

I forgot you have a 4 door.
Plus you have a body on frame car so it might be harder than a unibody since you have to have things welded to the frame

Dan, with a stocker cam, more converter and gear to go with it you'll pick up guite a lot. Good luck with it. Lee
