XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mitsubishi EVO1-3 4WD 1992-1996

The Evo1-3’s Group A-homologated four-wheel-drive platform was built to put power down through broken, patched, and camber-shifting tarmac stage surfaces, and the factory dampers give up long before the driveline does. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is set up specifically for that job: sealed-stage pace over surfaces that punish a car far harder than any public road.

This is a coilover for stage work, not a fast-road compromise. The valving and spring rates are pitched for sustained high-speed loading, repeated big hits, and the kind of directional changes a tarmac rally route throws at a short-wheelbase 4WD homologation special.

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

On stage, the Evo1-3’s viscous-coupled AWD system wants to load all four corners evenly under acceleration out of a hairpin, and a soft or worn damper lets the body roll and pitch enough to unsettle that balance. This coilover controls that movement so power gets to the road rather than into body motion. Over broken tarmac edges and mid-corner compressions, the damper is built to absorb the impact without kicking the chassis off-line, which keeps all four tyres loaded and gripping through the sections where lesser suspension gives up. The result is a car that holds its line through fast tarmac sweepers and stays composed when the surface turns rough mid-corner, exactly where the Evo1-3’s short wheelbase would otherwise get unsettled.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally damper is built to soak up the impact of uneven, broken stage tarmac rather than smooth public roads. It absorbs jolts from big compressions and surface breaks without transmitting that shock straight into the body, which keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded and working instead of skipping over the imperfection. That control is what XYZ Racing calls on for stability through fast sections, where a car that stays settled corner to corner is the one that carries speed rather than fighting the surface. The damping settings on this unit come directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, tuned on the same kind of stage surfaces this coilover is built to run on.
