The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII, built from 2003 to 2005, arrived with a revised aerodynamic package over the Evo VII and a turbocharged 4G63 producing 280bhp through Mitsubishi’s MIVEC variable timing. The CT9A chassis shared across Evo VII, VIII and IX is well established in UK club motorsport: MSUK stage rally, Motorsport UK sprints, and track day events all see regular Evo VIII entries. The front seat area is compact and the standard Recaros that came with the FQ editions hold the driver well, but owners fitting a roll cage or running a full harness typically replace them.
These are the M2 Motorsport direct fit sub-frames for the Mitsubishi Evo 8, part number M2-20623-S0008. The frame replaces the factory runners, bolts to the OEM floor mounting points, and requires no drilling. Steel, powder-coated black, 290mm side mount holes.

The CT9A platform is shared between Evo VII, VIII and IX. M2 use different part numbers for each generation, reflecting fitment differences between the variants. The Evo 7 frame is M2-20623-S000 and is listed separately at M2 Mitsubishi Evo 7 Direct Fit Sub-frames. The Evo 9 frame is M2-20623-S0009, listed at M2 Mitsubishi Evo 9 Direct Fit Sub-frames. The Evo X is a different chassis entirely and carries its own rail, M2 Mitsubishi Evo X Direct Fit Sub-frames.
Seats with 290mm side mount holes fit directly: Recaro, OMP, Sparco, Cobra, Corbeau, Bride, Takata and others.
Fitting both seats? The 2 x M2 Mitsubishi Evo 8 Direct Fit Sub-frames covers the pair.
