This is the most labour-intensive fitting job in the range, so agree the seat position and entry clearance with your welder beforehand. AST has digitised the bodyshell with laser scanners and designed the cage in 3D, so every tube of this top-of-the-range version is made to measure for your E46 Coupé.

Everything AST designs for the E46 Coupé, plus NASCAR door bars, in a single weld-in kit.
