the saftey devices in your car are designed as a system, you cant just pic and choose what you want to add, you need to upgrade as a hole system.
eg. You remove the air bag steering wheel - that requires you to use harnesses to keep you from smacking the wheel with your head.
using harnesses - that requires you to add some sort of rollover protection eg a rollbar or cage. With ur stock 3pt seat belt, in the event of the roof crushing down, they allow ur body to be pushed out of the way, where harnesses will hold you upright, perfect if ud like spinal compression or a snapped neck. Very dangerous in a rollover without rollover protection.
Having a cage, padding or no padding, requires a helmet!
Using stock seats with a cage or rollbar? u should get a seat back brace to keep safe in a rear ender accident, most oem seats are designed to flex, some to break at the hinge, better yet, get a racing seat. Also harnesses cannot be saftly used with oem seats, unless they have the holes specifically for harnesses. Finally using a cage with oem 3pt seatbelts is highly dangerous.
Ignore any of these points and ull end up less safe than if you left the whole system stock.
Saying "get a rollcage" when the OP asked what he can do to decrease chassis flex creeks is some very bad advice and also very ignorant. Too many people get cages for the COMPLETLY wrong reason![]()
