Default what size tubing for down bars on cage?

Hi everyone, I was thinking of adding down bars to my mild steel 10 point cage. The bars would go from the vertical door pilar bar through the fire wall and down to my stock sub frame. My car currentley runs 10.0x times. The cage is constructed of 1 5/8 x .134 wall tube . I would like to use 1 1/2 x .120 wall tube for the down bars, do the down bar tubes need to be 1 5/8 x .134 wall tube to get an 8.50 cert on the chassis? Please help - Al
