   Showcage just looks good, thats why its called a "show" cage.
   
   Strut braces stiffen the suspension.

   its purpose is for show mate simple as that, a roll cage will protect in crash and a show cage will just sit htere looking nice
   
   strute brace - theres upper and lower ones, id say upper ones are for show and a bit of bracing, lower ones for bracing and both well probablies for a rally slag

    a show cage is pointless if you ask me!
    
    might as well just fit a proper cage!
