XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mitsubishi COLT 1987-1992

On sealed-stage tarmac, a lightweight FWD platform like the 1987-1992 Mitsubishi Colt (MT06) lives or dies on front-axle grip. Hit a compression or a sudden surface change with the wrong damper tune and the front tyres unload, steering feedback drops away, and you are chasing the car instead of driving it.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover set is built specifically for that environment. The calibration comes directly from active tarmac rally competition – not road-car defaults applied to a stiffer spring rate – which is the difference that matters when the stage surface is working against you.

What this coilover does for your 1987-1992 Mitsubishi COLT

On a FWD platform this compact, body control and front-axle traction are the same problem stated two different ways. When the Colt pitches under hard braking or rolls into a fast corner, the inside front wheel loses load and grip follows shortly after. The tarmac-specific damping calibration here suppresses that body movement before it transfers into the steering, keeping both front contact patches working consistently over imperfect road surfaces. Large compression hits – crests, drain covers, patched tarmac mid-stage – are absorbed without the jolt propagating through the MT06’s relatively light structure and unsettling the car’s line. The outcome is more predictable front-axle response and better traction at the exit of slow corners, where a FWD car needs every bit of purchase available.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is engineered for sealed-stage competition, not fast-road or mixed-surface use. Its damping tune addresses the specific demands of closed-road tarmac – surfaces with crests, compressions, and abrupt texture changes that standard road dampers cannot manage at competition pace. Every setting draws on XYZ Racing’s direct tarmac rally experience: the calibration exists to load the tyre contact patch more consistently across uneven surfaces, suppress the chassis reactions that break a driver’s rhythm mid-stage, and deliver a stable, readable platform through demanding compressions. Construction priorities are bump absorption at speed and body control under load, with the behaviour tuned to hold up through a competitive stage rather than a single isolated hit.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi COLT (1987-1992)

This kit is built for the MT06-chassis Mitsubishi Colt across the full 1987 to 1992 production span. The hatchback bodystyle was the more common competition base in this generation. Verify your chassis plate before ordering and cross-reference with your competition preparation documentation if running this in a classed rally event.
