XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD 1989-1995

The first-generation Eclipse Turbo 4WD splits its weight across a 4G63T up front and a full-time all-wheel-drive system that sends power rearward the instant the front tyres start to slip – which on a rutted, cambered tarmac stage happens constantly. That transfer point is exactly where a stock damper gives up: soft valving lets the nose dive into compressions and the rear squat under power, and the car loses the planted, four-wheel-drive traction that made this platform a genuine rally weapon in period.

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built for that stage environment specifically – sealed sections of tarmac with mid-corner bumps, crests and off-camber changes taken at speed, not a closed circuit. For an MT13-chassis Eclipse Turbo 4WD, that means a damper tuned to control body movement over broken surfaces while keeping both axles loaded enough for the AWD system to actually put power down.

What this coilover does for your 1989-1995 Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD

Fitted to the MT13, this kit is built to soak up the hit from mid-corner bumps and surface breaks without kicking the body off-line – the kind of impact that unsettles the standard dampers and costs the AWD system its traction advantage. Controlling that shock through the wheel, rather than letting it translate into body roll, keeps contact patch pressure more consistent front and rear, which on a car that relies on both ends staying loaded to send power through the transfer case is the difference between a clean exit and a slide you’re catching. The result on the Eclipse Turbo 4WD is a car that settles faster after a compression and holds its line through the next input, instead of still recovering from the last one.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ built the Tarmac Rally line around one job: absorbing the impact of uneven, broken tarmac without letting that impact travel into the chassis as body shock. The valving is set to take the jolt out of big hits – kerbs, patched surfaces, mid-corner ridges – while still suppressing the secondary body motion that follows, which is what keeps tyre contact and traction consistent rather than spiking and dropping away. That stability is the point: a car that stays composed transmits driver input predictably instead of requiring correction. The settings supplied with this kit come directly from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme, carried over from stage use rather than derived on a rig, and applied here to the Eclipse Turbo 4WD’s specific weight distribution and drivetrain layout.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD (1989-1995)

This Tarmac Rally coilover is built for the MT13-chassis Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo 4WD produced across the 1989 to 1995 model years, covering the AWD turbo variant of the first-generation platform. Confirm your car matches the MT13 chassis code and the 4WD turbo drivetrain before ordering, as this kit is not shared with the front-wheel-drive Eclipse variants from the same period.
