XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 2) 1987-1989

The 8-valve Integrale carries more body roll than its rally credentials would suggest. On the standard suspension, the short-wheelbase shell pitches noticeably under braking and leans into corners in a way that flatters the car’s character on a loose forest stage but works against you on tarmac, where the 4WD torque delivery rewards a flatter, more planted stance. The Super Sport coilover from XYZ Racing addresses both issues directly, without turning a road-going Group A homologation car into something it isn’t.

This is a coilover built for the fast-road and weekend track owner who wants to drive the Delta INTEGRALE (TYPE 2) hard – across B-roads, club track days, or an occasional sprint. The 36-way damping range is wide enough to have a meaningful difference between the soft end for long motorway runs and the firmer mid-range that suits a damp Anglesey morning.

What this coilover does for your 1987-1989 Lancia DELTA INTEGRALE (TYPE 2)

The stock suspension on the 1987-1989 Integrale was a compromise between Group A homologation stiffness and the need for a road car that wouldn’t shake its occupants apart on Italian back roads. The XYZ Racing Super Sport tightens that compromise considerably: adjustable ride height drops the centre of gravity and reduces the body-lean that unloads the rear inside wheel in fast corners, while the 36-way damping adjustment lets you manage the turbo engine’s torque surge through the AWD drivetrain without the front end washing wide. On track, firmer settings keep the shell more neutral through direction changes – a significant gain on a chassis as compact as the Delta’s short wheelbase demands.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s dual-purpose damper – specified for weekend race use and compliant enough for daily driving. Damping spans 36 distinct settings, providing a meaningful spread between a comfortable setting for long road miles and one tuned for circuit use. Ride height is independently adjustable, allowing the Integrale’s already-low stance to be positioned precisely for the application without needing to swap springs. The construction is explicitly aimed at absorbing the harshness that rough surfaces and sharp compressions generate – a practical priority on a car that encounters broken UK B-road surfaces regularly. In XYZ Racing’s own assessment, this is a high-performance damper that accommodates the full range of road conditions rather than requiring a choice between them.

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

This listing covers the LA02 chassis code – the original 8-valve Delta INTEGRALE (TYPE 2), produced between 1987 and 1989. This is the pre-16v generation, manufactured before the engine upgrade of late 1989. Confirm your chassis code and build year before ordering; the Integrale family shares a strong outward resemblance across generations, but suspension geometry differs between the 8v and subsequent 16v and Evo variants.
