Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I don't get here as much as I'd like :D
A typical 8 point SCCA style cage in a large sedan usually runs around 80-85' of 1.75x.095. With 100 sq. inch pads you're probably looking at under 175 lbs for a cage. You can use the required minimum tube for all of the main elements and use thinner wall/smaller diameter tube for the non required tubes (x bars, triangulation bars and gussets)
SCCA is no longer giving the weight break to 4130. Same size Mild as Alloy for any new builds/logbooks. Been that way for about the last 3 or 4 years.
