Roll cage tier for the Evo IXWhich roll cage for a Mitsubishi Evo IX
The Safety Devices Rear Bolt-In Roll Cage at £350 is the accessible option if you only need harness mounting. For a car being built properly for competition, the OMP Multi-Point Weld in Roll Cage Kit at £1245.29 is the more accessible full cage, with the Sparco Multipoint Weld In at £1542.91 the top of the range 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 IX going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Does the rear bolt-in cage fit the Evo VII and VIII too?
Yes, the Safety Devices Rear Bolt-In Roll Cage covers the Evo VII, VIII and IX together.
I have seen this cage listed under "Carisma" too, is that a different car?
No, that reflects how this generation was market-classified in parts of Europe. The listings we use here are functionally the same product under the Lancer naming.
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.
