Competition seats for the Evo XWhich bucket seat for a Mitsubishi Evo X
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 Evo QRT at £475 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 Multi-Point Weld in Roll Cage Kit at £1710.59 is the accessible full cage. The OMP Multi-Point Weld in Roll Cage at £2123.86 is the step up 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 X going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
Does the bracket fit the standard Lancer too?
Yes, the Planted Technology bracket covers the standard Lancer sedan of the same generation, 2007 to 2017, alongside the Evo X, 2007 to 2015.
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.
