XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mitsubishi EVO1-3 4WD 1992-1996

The MT17-generation Evo’s 4WD system puts more unsprung mass at each corner than a two-wheel-drive rival, and factory dampers from this era were never built to control it once the car sees a track surface or a fast B-road. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built to give that chassis a damper it can actually lean on, rather than one that’s still doing its job description from 1992.

For an Evo1-3 owner splitting time between the commute and a weekend track day, that means a kit you can soften for the drive there and firm up in the paddock, not a single fixed setting you learn to live with either way.

What this coilover does for your 1992-1996 Mitsubishi EVO1-3 4WD

Ride height adjustment lets you correct the stance and corner weights that 30-plus-year-old springs and worn mounts have usually thrown off, which matters more on a 4WD platform where uneven ride height unbalances torque split front to rear. The 36-way damping adjustment is the bigger win: dial it soft and the car absorbs the broken tarmac these early Evos so often ride on badly, or wind it up and the front axle stops diving under trail-braking into a hairpin, keeping the nose planted long enough for the all-wheel-drive system to put power down cleanly on exit. Because the range covers both ends of that spectrum on one damper, you’re not swapping parts between road and track use, just turning a dial. On a car this old, a coilover that still gives you real adjustment range is doing more for you than one that arrived with a bigger spec sheet but no way to tune it for how you actually drive the Evo.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s answer to the discomfort that comes from decades-old dampers struggling over bumps and rough surfaces – the kind of ride quality complaint that shows up on any Evo this age riding on tired factory struts. Height adjustability is built into the design so you can set the car up properly rather than accepting whatever ride height the springs settle at. The headline number is 36-way damping adjustment, giving you enough granularity to move meaningfully between a compliant road setting and a firmer track one, rather than jumping between two or three crude stages. XYZ Racing positions this unit for exactly the split use case an early Evo owner has in mind: capable of handling daily-driver duty through the week and weekend race conditions without needing a different set of dampers for each. It’s built around the idea that one well-adjusted damper should cover both ends of that use case, not force a compromise in either direction.
