XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 1) 1987-1989

The original 8-valve Integrale was built to win the WRC, and its factory suspension makes no apologies for that – stiff, purposeful, and not particularly concerned with road-surface compliance. Fitting the LA01 with a properly calibrated coilover kit changes the car’s character substantially, tightening the front-end body control that otherwise allows the nose to run wide under early power application from the 8V’s turbocharged four.

For owners using the 1987-1989 Delta Integrale on mountain passes, road events, or demanding fast-road miles, the Street Advanced offers something the factory specification never prioritised: a wide enough adjustment range to genuinely tune ride quality to the surface, rather than accept one fixed compromise and live with it.

What this coilover does for your 1987-1989 Lancia Delta Integrale

The Type 1 Integrale’s front-biased 4WD setup rewards a lower, more controlled platform – less body roll means the torque reaches the tarmac with greater consistency at corner exit. With 720 damping adjustment positions available, the range here is genuinely useful rather than nominal: run a softer setting for motorway touring, stiffen it for the roads this car was built to exploit. Separate ride-height adjustment preserves spring geometry as the car is lowered, which matters on an already tight wheel-arch package. The improvement in steering feel over the original struts is immediate on the first drive.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Developed over multiple years by XYZ Racing’s engineering team and put through extensive testing at prominent international motorsport events, the Street Advanced is the series for owners who want meaningful adjustability without committing to circuit-only stiffness. The headline is 720 damping adjustment positions – a figure that delivers progressive calibration across the range rather than a handful of widely separated clicks. Materials and construction target durability under sustained daily use, including the thermal cycling that comes with pushing a turbocharged platform hard and then sitting in traffic. It is XYZ Racing’s most widely used coilover product, sitting between the comfort-biased street series and the dedicated circuit-spec range, and suited to exactly the kind of driver who treats an Integrale as a car to be used.

Fitment for the Lancia Delta Integrale (1987-1989)

Confirmed for the first-generation Integrale (chassis code LA01) built between 1987 and 1989 – the 8-valve cars that preceded the 16V Integrale introduced in late 1989. Check your build date carefully: the Type 1 and Type 2 bodies share the same wide-arch silhouette, but the front strut dimensions differ and fitments are not interchangeable.
