Roll Bar besides Studio Rsr

K8_M235i · 05-18-2020, 11:08 PM

Does anyone know of a manufacturer other than Studio RSR that makes a bolt in Roll Bar for f22s?

I've talked to a few companies in Europe that make them for f87s, and they were either unsure of fitment or knew the f87 bar didn't fit in f22s.

I'm looking for a piece made for Motorsport, not show cars.

You’re better off getting a custom one done for safety. That’s what I did. Studio RSR only uses 2 bolts for mounting. Their cages seem to be more for looks and not actual safety.

It seems like the route I'm going to have to take.
I know some good fabricators around me from when I was getting my e36 caged.

Do you have any pics of your bar? I would love to see the design and mounting points.

Yeah man. I made a post about it on here. Look for F23 Roll Bar.

For those interested, I was able to find a great option through Strom Motorsports in California.

They designed a bar to be extremely similar to the oem m4 gts roll bar. I will be purchasing one from them because their design and the safety of their bar is lightyears better than Studio RSR.

Please share pictures once you have them. I'm looking at the M235i Racing for inspiration on a custom cage build, hoping to get it done this summer.

I actually hit another dead end. The roll bar in question was still going to be too short.

I am 6' 3" which makes it very difficult to get my head low enough
