Where to buy prebent cages?

Same as title, where are some reputable places to buy 6-12pt roll cages that are ready to be notched and welded in?

I get mine from s+W racecars, or you can get competition engineering ones from summit or jegs.

I started out with a S&W 6 point mild steel roll bar in my car. Thankfully, I've never needed to try it out. After a good friend crashed his car (very bad), and I saw how his cage basically saved his life, I decided to go the full cage route with CM steel.

I had a local chassis builder do a 12 point custom CM cage. The car did not increase in weight from the mild steel 6 point bar to a CM 12 point cage. If I were to do it over again, I'd go right for the CM bar or cage. I'd avoid the MS stuff out there. Yes it fits.........with a lot of work. It isn't as expensive as a custom job, but then again, you get what you pay for.

There has to be some good chassis builders in Texas that can build you a custom CM cage or bar to fit your needs and won't break the bank.
