Competition seats for the Evo VIWhich bucket seat for a Mitsubishi Evo VI
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.
Reclining sport seats
The Sparco R100 Martini Racing at £291.66 is the accessible starting point. The Recaro Cross Sportster CS at £1323 is a premium reclining seat with strong lateral support. The Cobra Misano Lux at £1290.83 and Misano Anniversary Spec 2 at £1374.17 are the top of the range.

Roll cages
The OMP Bolt in Roll Cage at £568.56 and the Safety Devices 6 Point Bolt-In at £542.51 are the accessible options. The two Safety Devices Weld-In cages, both built to spec U021, differ in configuration: one at £751.28, the other at £929.36 with additional bracing.
For a car built properly for competition, the full weld-in kits: the Sparco Multipoint Weld In at £1350.04, the OMP Multi-Point Weld in at £1375.80, and the Custom Cages International Multipoint T45 at £1571, which also covers the Evo V.

Roll cage tier for the Evo VIWhich roll cage for a Mitsubishi Evo VI
The OMP Bolt in Roll Cage at £568.56 is the accessible option. For a car built properly for competition, the Sparco Multipoint Weld In at £1350.04 is a strong mid-tier option, with the Custom Cages International Multipoint T45 at £1571 the top of the range here.
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 VI going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Does the Custom Cages T45 kit fit the Evo V too?
Yes, it is confirmed for the Evo V and VI together.
Is this the Tommi Mäkinen Edition?
This guide covers the standard Evo VI. If you have the Tommi Mäkinen Edition specifically, ask us to confirm fitment before ordering.
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.
