XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Toyota CELICA ST185 4WD TURBO (Mcpherson Type) 1989-1993

The ST185 GT-Four was built to win the World Rally Championship, and it did – twice – with the turbocharged 3S-GTE slung over the front axle and full-time four-wheel drive putting that power down. That layout leaves the standard car nose-led and softly sprung, rolling onto its outer front strut before the AWD system can sort the rest out. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Toyota Celica ST185 4WD Turbo gives this rally homologation chassis the height and damping control its MacPherson strut design was always ready to take.

This is the fast-road specification, set up for spirited B-road use with the occasional weekend track day rather than full competition. Height adjustment plus 36-way damping means an ST185 can lose its factory body roll and ride height without becoming punishing on a broken surface.

What these coilovers do for your 1989-1993 Toyota Celica ST185 4WD Turbo

Drop the ride height and you pull the centre of gravity down on a car that naturally pushes wide on standard struts, sharpening turn-in and settling the nose under trail-braking. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you firm up the platform so the viscous-coupled four-wheel-drive system has a stable base to work from, instead of waiting for soft factory dampers to catch up mid-corner. On the road you get tighter body control without the brittle, crashing ride that cheap lowering springs inflict on the ST185. For a turbo-heavy front end, that combination of controlled roll and adjustable rebound is what makes the GT-Four feel composed rather than reluctant.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport damper is engineered to remove the harshness most lowered cars suffer over bumps and rough surfaces, keeping the ride usable day to day. Each unit carries 36-way damping adjustment, so compression and rebound can be tuned from comfort-biased commuting to a firmer fast-road setting. Ride height is independently adjustable, letting you set stance and corner balance to suit the car. XYZ Racing positions this kit as a genuine dual-purpose setup – calm enough for daily driving, firm enough for weekend track sessions – which fits the way most surviving ST185s are actually used in 2026.
