XYZ Racing Circuit Master Coilovers — Mitsubishi EVO10 4WD 2008-2016

The Evo X’s 4WD system puts torque down through all four corners, but that same driveline mass sits behind an axle set that still has to manage weight transfer under trail-braking into apex. Stock dampers were tuned around comfort and NVH targets, not the load spikes a 300+ bhp 4B11T generates lap after lap on track. The Circuit Master is built for exactly that scenario: sustained circuit lap-time work where the suspension has to hold its settings through session after session, not just survive one hot lap.

For an MT20-chassis Evo X running full boost and slick or semi-slick rubber, damper consistency under repeated heat cycling matters more than outright spring rate. This kit is aimed at owners doing track days and time attack, where the chassis needs to stay predictable corner after corner rather than drift as oil temperature climbs.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2016 Mitsubishi EVO10 4WD

With 9720 damping combinations available across the 3 external adjustment knobs, you can separate low-speed compression (body control under braking and turn-in) from high-speed circuit compression events like kerb strikes and mid-corner bumps, without the whole damper moving as one blunt setting. That range lets an Evo X set up for a tight, bumpy UK club circuit look completely different from the same car on a smoother, faster layout – same hardware, different corner. Monotube construction keeps oil and gas separated under sustained heat, which is the difference between a damper that holds its curve for a 20-minute session and one that fades by lap eight. On a car that already carries the weight of a full-time 4WD system plus intercoolers and a rear diff, that consistency is what lets you trust the rear end will still be doing the same thing on the last lap as it was on the first.

About the Circuit Master coilover

Circuit Master sits at the top of XYZ Racing’s range as the specification built specifically around circuit and competitive track use – the same territory as their Racing Spec and Tarmac Rally lines. XYZ racing teams have used this damper platform across international circuit competition, which is where the 9720-way adjustment figure comes from: enough granularity across the 3 knobs that teams can find a setting for a given track surface rather than compromising with broad steps. The small-oil-hole design behind those adjustment knobs is a deliberate trade-off – on rough sections or kerbs you may hear a faint noise from oil moving through the narrower passage, which is normal and not a fault. It’s a byproduct of a damper tuned to work on smooth, purpose-built track surfaces rather than optimised to be silent over broken B-roads. Everything about the internals points at one use case: circuit tracks, not daily comfort.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi EVO10 4WD (2008-2016)

This kit is built for the MT20-chassis Mitsubishi EVO10, covering the 4WD platform sold from 2008 through 2016. Confirm your car sits within that chassis code and year span before ordering, as the damper and mount hardware are matched to this specific generation’s suspension geometry.
