Porsche 944 bucket seat guide
1982 to 1991
The 944, 1982 to 1991, remains one of the most track-active classic Porsches thanks to its near 50/50 weight balance. Mounting is deep for this car, and the cage range covers pre and post dash change production as well as the sunroof variant.
- Corbeau, Sparco, Planted, Recaro and Cobra mounting options are all confirmed for the 944
- Cage options split by dash change production date and sunroof fitment, further configurations available on request
- The competition bucket range runs from the Cobra Monaco Pro through to the Recaro Pole Position Carbon
- Reclining sport seats keep more factory comfort while still improving on the standard seat
- Harnesses above 3-point need a roll cage or a properly engineered harness bar

Roll cage tier for the 944Which roll cage for a Porsche 944
The SW Motorsports Half Roll Cage Kit at £345.56 is the accessible option for a track day 944. The OMP Bolt In Roll Cage at £661.62 is a well proven mid-tier choice, once you have confirmed dash change and sunroof fitment. For a 944 built properly for competition, the Custom Cages Multipoint T45 Kit at £1545 is 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 944 going to competition or serious track days.

Common questions
How do I know which cage fits my 944?
Check whether your car is pre or post dash change and whether it has a factory sunroof. Safety Devices and SW Motorsports build several further configurations beyond those shown here, contact us for a specific match.
Which subframe should I use?
The Sparco Direct Fit Sub-frames at £77.50 are the practical choice for most builds. Corbeau, Planted, Recaro and Cobra options are also confirmed for the 944.
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.
More help
Confirm your dash change date and sunroof fitment before ordering a cage. Cameron works through the seat, subframe and roll cage combination together.
