XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 1) 1987-1989

The Delta Integrale Type 1 was built around one competition requirement: staying planted on tarmac stages where road quality was anything but predictable. From 1987 to 1989, this 4WD turbo platform rewrote what a road-registered Group A homologation car could do on sealed surfaces. Running one today – whether on historic rally stages, regularity events, or as a high-effort fast road car – means the suspension setup carries the same weight it always did.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Lancia Delta Integrale (Type 1) is built specifically for sealed-surface competition use. Every calibration decision draws on actual tarmac rally setup data rather than generalised sport suspension theory, making it directly relevant to owners who use this chassis as it was intended.

What this coilover does for your 1987-1989 Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 1)

On tarmac, the Integrale’s 4WD system is only as effective as the grip available at each corner. This damper is calibrated to keep the tyre in contact over the sharp, localised surface hits common to competition tarmac – not the rolling compressions of a gravel stage – so tyre traction is maintained across irregularities that would cause a standard damper to skip. Body control under hard braking improves markedly, with significantly less nose dive than the factory setup permits; on a hairpin approach this translates directly into more confident entry and better direction change. Secondary body movement after the initial impact is suppressed quickly, keeping the chassis settled and predictable through fast, cambered sections where the Type 1’s older suspension geometry can otherwise show through.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Tarmac Rally specification through active competition use on sealed stages, not as a theoretical exercise. The calibration is built to handle the demanding surface changes of real competition tarmac – absorbing significant jolts over broken or patched road surfaces while eliminating the prolonged body oscillation that follows an impact. Every setting in the unit is drawn directly from tarmac rally experience, making this appropriate for historic competition events as well as serious fast-road use where a standard sport damper would carry the wrong calibration for the surface. Construction targets stability through the full range of conditions a sealed stage presents, with tyre contact and body control as the primary benchmarks throughout.

Fitment for the Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 1) (1987-1989)

This kit is listed specifically for the Lancia Delta Integrale (Type 1), chassis code LA01, covering production from 1987 to 1989. Confirm your chassis designation before ordering – the Type 1 specification is distinct from the later 16V and Evoluzione variants, which carry different suspension geometry and are covered by separate fitments.
