XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Mitsubishi COLT 1987-1992

The late-80s Colt’s factory suspension was calibrated entirely for comfort – long travel, soft rates, and enough body roll to make enthusiastic cornering a test of commitment rather than confidence. On a car this light, the gap between stock and properly sorted is smaller than it looks on paper, but the standard setup wastes that inherent lightness, leaving the front end vague under lateral load and the weight poorly managed when the road turns serious.

These XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilovers for the Mitsubishi Colt 1987-1992 address that balance directly. The Street Advanced is built to cover normal road use through to track day deployment – not a stripped-out circuit unit, not a comfort-biased lowering spring, but a coilover that the XYZ team developed and refined over years for exactly this kind of dual-purpose use.

What this coilover does for your 1987-1992 Mitsubishi COLT

The body roll that characterises the stock Colt is controlled from the moment the Street Advanced goes in – tighter spring rates and a properly set ride height put the weight where it is useful rather than where inertia takes it. The 720-way damping adjustment range is the key spec here: on a lightweight FWD platform like the MT06, the difference between a road setting and a track-day setting is significant, and being able to move between them without swapping hardware matters. The threaded collar gives independent ride height control so you can tighten the arches without forcing a spring rate you cannot live with on a 40-mile commute. Consistent front-axle load through fast corners is what transforms the Colt’s turn-in, and that is what the Street Advanced delivers.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most widely adopted coilover series, developed across multiple seasons by the XYZ professional engineering team and validated through testing at major racing events worldwide. The defining specification is 720 damping adjustment ways – a broad spread that covers compliant road use at one end and a firmer, flatter track configuration at the other. Full height adjustment via the threaded collar operates independently of spring rate, which matters when building a car that needs to perform on road and track without a full setup change between each. The construction is built to handle repeat loading across varied surfaces – the kind of use the Street Advanced was explicitly designed for, rather than a compromise between road and circuit demands. For a platform in the 1987-1992 Colt’s weight class, XYZ calibrated the Street Advanced to work with the car’s natural agility rather than impose a setup borrowed from a heavier chassis.
