Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 1) 1987-1989 — Coilovers

The Type 1 Integrale earns its reputation on traction. Its transverse front engine and permanent four-wheel drive let it put power down where two-wheel-drive rivals of the late 1980s simply spun, but the standard LA01 setup was tuned for road comfort as much as control, and four decades on most surviving cars float over crests and run wide on turn-in. A coilover kit is the single change that brings the chassis back under the driver.

This XYZ Racing coilover range for the 1987-1989 Lancia Delta Integrale (Type 1) spans everything from a settled fast-road set-up to full historic-rally and circuit specs. Because the platform splits its life between tarmac, gravel and the occasional track day, the range gives you a spec matched to how the car is actually used rather than one blanket compromise.

What this coilover does for your 1987-1989 Lancia Delta Integrale (Type 1)

Height-adjustable platforms let you set ride height and corner weights on a heavy, nose-led 4WD car properly, so the Integrale sits level and the front axle stops diving under braking. Firmer, controlled damping settles the float over mid-corner bumps and keeps all four contact patches loaded, which is exactly where the Delta’s four-wheel-drive traction advantage lives. On the road you gain body control without the crashiness of cut springs; on a stage or circuit you gain the platform stability to lean on the front end through long, loaded corners. The car turns in cleanly and drives out of bends on throttle the way the rally homologation original was meant to.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

Each kit is built around a threaded damper body with adjustable spring platforms, so ride height is set on the strut rather than by swapping springs. The range covers nine specifications for this chassis. Street Advanced and Super Sport prioritise road manners with controlled damping; Top Sport and Circuit Master move towards stiffer rates and track-focused body control; Racing Spec sits at the competition end. For the Integrale’s rally heritage there are dedicated Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally and Pro Rally builds, with Gravel Rally offering the longer travel and softer base settings loose surfaces demand. Drift Spec rounds out the line for those running the platform sideways. Spring rates and valving across the range are chosen for the Integrale’s kerb weight and four-wheel-drive layout, not carried over from a lighter front-drive hatch.
