Updated Safety Devices Mitsubishi Roll Cages for the 2025 Racing Season
Roll cage news, February 2025
Ahead of the 2025 season we have been through our Safety Devices Mitsubishi roll cage listings. Each one now sets out the car and years it fits, the cage design, the options you can choose and what it is certified for.
The range covers the Lancer Evolution from the Evo 2 onwards, the Colt Starion and the Galant VR4, in bolt-in and weld-in forms. Here is how it breaks down and how to choose.
- Safety Devices cages for the Lancer Evo, Colt Starion and Galant VR4
- Bolt-in six point, multipoint and rear cages, plus full weld-in cages
- Rear cages can be used alone, in several designs
- Approval varies by cage: check the listing for the one you want
- Bolt-in cages in black powder coat as standard, with five other colours
What is on this page
What we have updated
Every Safety Devices Mitsubishi cage listing now carries the Safety Devices cage number, the exact models and years it fits, the design, the front, rear and door bar options, and the certification details from Safety Devices. The bolt-in cages can be chosen in black powder coat as standard or in grey, blue, silver, white or red, or unpainted on request.
We have also listed the rear cages on their own, so you can buy just the rear section where the car does not need a full cage.
The Mitsubishis in the range
Lancer Evolution. Safety Devices cover the Evo from the Evo 2 onwards. The Evo 2 and 3 have a full weld-in competition cage. The Evo 4, 5 and 6 have both six point bolt-in cages and weld-in cages, and the Evo 7, 8 and 9 have a six point bolt-in cage and weld-in cages.
Colt Starion. A six point bolt-in cage for the three door Starion from 1982 to 1989, which clears all the normal trim and dashboard, with rear cage and door bar options.
Galant VR4. A 12 point multipoint bolt-in cage for the five door Galant VR4 E39A from 1988 to 1992, with a harness bar in the main hoop, plus a rear cage that can be used alone.
The bolt-in cages and their options
The bolt-in cages follow the same pattern. The front cage must be used with a rear cage. The rear cage can be used on its own, and comes in several designs depending on the car: a single fixed diagonal, a single diagonal with a harness bar, or a cross diagonal with a harness bar. Door bars are made for each car, one per side, and are used with the front and rear cage together.
Approval differs from cage to cage, so read the listing. The Starion six point cage and the Galant VR4 multipoint cage are listed as Motorsport UK/FIA homologated, with a certificate available from Motorsport UK. The six point bolt-in cage for the Evo 7, 8 and 9 is a road and track cage, marked not for competition use; Safety Devices make a separate Motorsport UK specification cage for those cars.

The weld-in Evo 2 and Evo 3 cage
For the Evo 2 (1994 to 1995) and Evo 3 (1995 to 1996), Safety Devices make a full weld-in cage in CDS steel, listed as Motorsport UK/FIA homologated. It is a complete competition cage: cross door bars, a cross diagonal in the backstays, a single roof diagonal, lower backstays, front triangulation, harness bars, a rear strut brace, a tunnel brace and rear floor bracing.
It is sold as a full cage only, and supplied unpainted but oiled to stop it rusting before it goes in.
Weld-in or bolt-in?
Weld-in cages become part of the car’s structure. They are the usual choice for serious competition, especially rallying, and they must be fitted by someone with the right welding skills.
Bolt-in cages fit without welding to the shell, and can come out again if needed. Many clear the normal trim, which makes them a good fit for track day and fast road cars, and some carry homologation for competition too.
Which you need comes down to the regulations for what you do. Check your championship regulations and the Motorsport UK Yearbook before ordering.
FIA and Motorsport UK
The FIA sets the international rules for motorsport, and Motorsport UK (the MSA until 2019) governs the sport in the UK, with its own rules on cage design and materials. Most UK club events run under Motorsport UK regulations. A cage listed as homologated comes with a certificate number; keep a copy with the car, as scrutineers may ask to see it.
Garreth’s advice is to tell us the car, the year and what you compete in before you order, and to have any cage, bolt-in or welded, fitted properly and checked by a scrutineer before the car competes. You can see the whole Safety Devices Mitsubishi range together.
