vert belts are plug and play. Just check out the mounting points for the belts on the S4. I think I mounted them in the wrong hole by accident.. opps!

Why is it a bad idea to have a cage in a street car?

IMO, Because when you get in a crash, regardless of the restraint system you will move around. This will allow your head to come into contact with the roll cage and cause head injuries from a cracked skull to worse.

Even in race cars with helmets on the drivers hurt their melons when they smack the cage. Even with the good padding on the bars. Just my thoughts anyways. Not much room in the cars to start with.

Makes sense. I suppose it would depend on the cage also...

^Yeah, wearing a helmet every time you go to the grocery store would get old and you would look stupid as hell sitting in traffic.
