Competition seats for the Evo IVWhich bucket seat for a Mitsubishi Evo IV
The Cobra Monaco Pro FIA at £235 is the practical starting point for a track day car. If you want a WRC-derived shell, the OMP WRC-R Fibreglass at £438 is well judged for the money. For an Evo built properly for competition, the Sparco Pro 2000 QRT Martini Racing at £550 is the strongest option here.

Roll cages
The Safety Devices Rear Bolt-In Roll Cage at £295.17 is the accessible option for harness bar mounting alone. The OMP Bolt in Roll Cage at £568.56 steps up from there.
For a car built properly for competition, the full weld-in and multipoint kits: Custom Cages International Multipoint CDS at £930, the Safety Devices Weld-In at £751.28, the Sparco Multipoint Weld In at £1350.04, the Custom Cages International Multipoint T45 at £1355, and the OMP Multi-Point Weld in at £1375.80.

Roll cage tier for the Evo IVWhich roll cage for a Mitsubishi Evo IV
The Safety Devices Rear Bolt-In Roll Cage at £295.17 is the accessible option if you only need harness mounting. For a car being built properly for competition, the Custom Cages International Multipoint CDS at £930 is the more accessible full cage, with the T45 version at £1355 the step up in strength for a car being campaigned seriously.
Harnesses
Harnesses need a roll cage or harness barA 4-point, 5-point or 6-point harness with separate shoulder straps needs proper attachment points above and behind the seat. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar before using anything above a 3-point belt.
The TRS Clubman 3-point bolt-in at £80 and 4-point clip-in at £100 both use the standard seat belt anchor points and do not need a cage. For 4-point competition use, the TRS Magnum 4-point FIA at £205 and the Takata Drift II at £229 are the step up.
For 6-point harnesses, the cage goes in first. The TRS Magnum 6-point Superlite FIA at £245, the Takata Drift III at £270, and the Schroth Profi 3×2 at £370.01 all suit a caged Evo IV going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Which roll cage should I choose?
The Safety Devices Rear Bolt-In at £295.17 suits harness mounting alone. The Custom Cages International Multipoint CDS at £930 is the accessible full cage, with the T45 version at £1355 the step up for a car campaigned seriously.
Does the same subframe fit the Evo V or later?
This subframe is confirmed for the Evo IV specifically. Ask us if you need a different generation confirmed.
Can I run a 6-point harness without a roll cage?
No. A 6-point harness needs anchor points above and behind the seat for the shoulder straps. Fit a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar first.
Should I choose a competition bucket or a reclining seat?
A competition bucket holds you better through a corner but is harder to live with day to day. A reclining seat keeps more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat.
