the right half cage would be ample but,
if you are gunna put a cage in you might as well put a proper full one in,
just takes a bit to get used to :D getting in and out,

but if you wanna drift and slide, its the only way to go

A check of the rules BEFORE you spend the money is a great idea.

If you're events are CAMS santioned (I don't know, hopefully you do) then there is a Schedule J regarding the fitment of rollcages. So often people get what they think is required, then find they've used incorrect materials, wrong specification of tubing, welding and mounts. Basically means you've got to pull it out and start again (Read: huge waste of $)

So do as per my first sentence and you'll be on the right path.

And have fun!

If you go to the following link it will provide you with the basic outline of what roll cages are allowed to be fitted into vehicles' according to what events you are competeing in. There is also a CAMS manual that is available that you will need to have if a CAMS licence is required to drive in the event. Also bear in mind that certain roll cages actually make a car unroadworhty, so check with the local authorities (if that bothers you.....)
From my experience nothing beats a full cage for not only protection, but for overall stiffening of the body and chassis....If you need some more info PM me and i will help out where i can. Good luck and good drifting :beer
