for safety
compare both cusco 5 point roll cage and OEM hardtop, witch one is stronger?
If I had the hardtop already, do I still need roll bar? if the car used for track.
thx

Probably the rollbar. The hardtop is aluminum, and even as rigid as it is a roll bar is still safety equipment. But I don't know ifth cusco bar is actually safety equipment or not. It looks flimsy.

Cusco 5point is not legal for a track...
I think the saftey 21 brand from cusco is though, because its steel...
OEM hardtop with a 5 point under is nice

Putting an OEM hardtop onto an S2000 doesn't turn it into a coupe. The hardtop is not a re-inforced member that is structurally integrated with the car's frame. It will not hold up the weight of the car should it turn over.

For track sanctioned events,you will still need a rool cage ((not BAR ))
