XYZ Racing Gravel Rally Coilovers — Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 2) 1987-1989

The 1987 Delta Integrale arrived with flared arches, a wider track, and a four-wheel-drive system already being refined into a WRC weapon – but the added mass of the widebody structure and the demands of competitive gravel stages placed requirements on suspension geometry that no road-derived setup could meet. On loose surfaces, that combination of significant kerb weight, all-wheel torque delivery, and the relentless compression-and-rebound cycling of rough stage roads is precisely what coilover specification decides.

The XYZ Racing Gravel Rally coilover for the Lancia Delta Integrale Type 2 is configured for the environment this car was built to operate in: sandstone, snow, and silt stages where wheel travel and absorption matter far more than ride height or road refinement. The Gravel Rally designation reflects a specific engineering brief, not a marketing category.

What this coilover does for your 1987-1989 Lancia Delta Integrale (Type 2)

Gravel stages cycle a suspension system through more load variation per kilometre than almost any other motorsport discipline, and the Type 2 Integrale – with its widened bodywork adding to an already substantial kerb weight – demands stroke travel that keeps all four wheels tracking through rapid surface changes. The inverted tube damper geometry adds structural rigidity against the lateral G-forces generated in high-speed gravel corners, where the Integrale’s all-wheel torque delivery amplifies chassis roll moments at direction changes. Extended spring travel lets the front axle absorb successive compression hits without losing the contact the 4WD system relies on. Spring rates across the range have been validated by rally racing teams operating at competition pace, meaning the calibration reflects actual stage conditions rather than road-car compromises.

About the Gravel Rally coilover

Rallycross and gravel-stage competition is the most hostile operating environment for any damper: higher peak loads, greater impact frequency, and surface variation that shifts between compacted sandstone, loose silt, and snow within a single timed section. The Gravel Rally series addresses this with an inverted tube damper design – the outer tube sits over the main piston rod, reducing flex under sustained high-cycle loading and increasing structural consistency when the chassis is taking repeated aggressive inputs. The longer spring specification is calibrated to absorb the high-speed oscillation characteristic of fast, bouncy stage surfaces, bearing the extreme G-forces that direction changes at rally pace generate through the car’s structure. Every spring rate setting in the range has been tested by rally racing teams running these exact conditions, across sandstone, snow, and silt environments, ensuring the calibration is drawn from competitive use rather than simulation. The result covers the full gravel-stage spectrum without trading one surface type for another.

Fitment for the Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 2) (1987-1989)

This coilover set is supplied specifically for the Lancia Delta Integrale Type 2, chassis code LA02, covering the 1987 to 1989 production run. Later Integrale variants – the 16v from 1989 and the subsequent Evo series – carry separate chassis codes and different fitment specifications; confirm your build year before ordering.
