XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mitsubishi EVO4-6 4WD 1997-2001

The MT18-generation Evo’s 4WD turbo platform puts weight and load through all four corners in a way a two-wheel-drive fast-road car never has to manage, and stock dampers from this era are long past doing that job properly. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built for exactly this scenario: fast-road and weekend track use where the car needs to stay composed under power delivery through the centre diff as much as under braking and turn-in.

For an Evo4-6 that’s still doing track days in 2026, tired original dampers are usually the first thing holding the chassis back, well before the drivetrain runs out of ideas. This kit replaces that ageing damping with a fully adjustable set-up designed to match the platform’s power and grip, not just to sit lower.

What this coilover does for your 1997-2001 Mitsubishi EVO4-6 4WD

The 36-way damping adjustment lets you separate compression and rebound behaviour for a car that has to work in two very different modes – daily/fast-road comfort and weekend track sessions – without swapping components between the two. Ride height adjustment brings the Evo’s stance down and the centre of gravity with it, sharpening turn-in response from a platform that was already sharper than most of its era’s rivals. Because the 4WD system loads all four dampers under acceleration, not just the rear, having consistent, adjustable control at every corner matters more here than on a 2WD equivalent – it keeps the car settled coming out of a corner under boost rather than pattering or wallowing. The result on the road and on track is a car that changes direction with less body roll and puts power down with less drama through the diff and driveshafts.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Super Sport line to solve a specific problem: standard dampers transmit every bump and road imperfection straight into the cabin, which gets tiring fast on a car that’s also meant to be driven daily or on a long trackday drive. The 36-way adjustment means the damper can be tuned across a wide range of stiffness rather than offering a single fixed compromise, so the same kit can be set soft enough for broken UK B-roads or firmed up for a circuit without any hardware changes. Ride height is independently adjustable too, which means lowering the car and setting spring preload don’t have to fight each other. It’s built as a dual-purpose damper – the spec is aimed squarely at drivers who use their Evo for both a weekend track outing and the rest of the week on normal roads, rather than a single-purpose race-only unit that would be miserable to live with day to day.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi EVO4-6 4WD (1997-2001)

This kit is specced for the MT18 chassis Evo4-6 4WD, covering the 1997 to 2001 model years. It’s built around the Evo’s four-wheel-drive turbo architecture specifically, not a generic Lancer application, so confirm your car falls within this chassis code and year span before ordering.
