XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mitsubishi EVO7-9 4WD 2002-2008

The MT19-chassis Evo runs a permanent 4WD system that loads the suspension differently to a two-wheel-drive car under power – torque going to all four corners means the rear end squats and the nose stays planted in a way that pushes standard dampers past their comfort zone within a season of hard driving. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built for the owner who splits their time between the A-road on Monday and a trackday at the weekend, rather than a car that lives exclusively on slicks.

The kit’s 36-way damping adjustment lets you retune the front-rear balance to suit whichever side of that split you’re leaning on that week, and height adjustment means ride height can be set independently of spring preload. For an Evo 7, 8 or 9 that’s still doing daily miles, that range matters more than an outright track-only setup would.

What this coilover does for your 2002-2008 Mitsubishi EVO7-9 4WD

Fitted to the MT19 chassis, the 36-way adjustment gives you enough range to soften the ride for a motorway trip home and firm it back up for a track session the same weekend, without swapping parts. Monotube-style construction responds faster to the bumps and mid-corner load changes that a 4WD car generates through its driveline, so the chassis settles quicker after a transition rather than continuing to move once you’re already back on the throttle. Independent ride height adjustment lets you correct the stance the AWD drivetrain and its heavier rear-biased hardware can leave behind, without touching spring rate. The result on an Evo running road tyres and the odd track day is a car that turns in with less of the vagueness that worn OEM struts introduce, and one that you can retune corner to corner as conditions or tyre choice change.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport line was designed around the idea that a suspension damper shouldn’t force a choice between comfort and control. Its 36-way damping adjustment is the headline spec – enough granularity to move from a compliant road setting to a stiffer track-day tune without needing a different damper. Ride height is independently adjustable from that damping curve, so lowering the car doesn’t automatically stiffen or soften the ride quality you’ve dialled in. XYZ Racing built the range specifically to smooth out the discomfort that rough UK B-roads and speed humps create in a lowered car, while keeping enough adjustment range in reserve for a weekend circuit outing. It sits below the firmer track-focused ranges in the XYZ lineup but above a fast-road-only setup, aimed squarely at drivers who need one coilover to do both jobs on the same car through the working week.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi EVO7-9 4WD (2002-2008)

This kit is built for the Mitsubishi Evo 7, 8 and 9 on the MT19 chassis, covering the 2002 to 2008 production run of the permanent 4WD platform. Confirm your specific Evo generation and chassis code against MT19 before ordering, as damper valving and mounting hardware are matched to this chassis rather than shared across unrelated Mitsubishi models.
