XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mitsubishi 3000 GT / GTO 4WD 1992-1996

The 3000 GT VR-4’s biggest handling compromise was never the twin-turbo 6G72 – it was the kerb weight the four-wheel-drive hardware added over the front axle. A Super Sport coilover set on the MT03 chassis is built to manage that mass properly, giving the transfer case, viscous centre diff and independent rear steering something firmer to work against than the factory dampers ever offered.

For 1992-1996 GT/GTO owners running fast-road miles with the occasional trackday, that means a kit that stiffens body control without turning the ride brittle on UK B-roads. It replaces a suspension setup that was tuned in the early ’90s for comfort first, and gives you a way to claw back the composure that weight and age have eroded.

What this coilover does for your 1992-1996 Mitsubishi 3000 GT / GTO 4WD

Ride height adjustment lets you correct the nose-down stance the 4WD driveline tends to settle into as bushes and springs age, levelling the car front to rear and improving how weight transfers under braking. The 36-way damping adjustment gives you separate control over low-speed compliance for broken UK tarmac and high-speed control for direction changes, which matters on a chassis this heavy when it’s asked to change direction quickly. Winding in more compression control reduces the nose-dive that a 1.7-tonne twin-turbo coupe generates under heavy braking into a corner, keeping the front tyres loaded evenly rather than overwhelming the outer contact patch. Because the adjustment is external, you can run a softer setting for a long motorway trip to the coast and firm it up again for a Sunday morning back-road run, without pulling the corners apart.

About the Super Sport coilover

Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s damper built to remove the harshness that comes with lowering a car on unsympathic springs, while still giving a firm platform for spirited driving. The 36-way adjustment covers a wide enough range to go from a comfortable daily set-up to something closer to fast-road/track tuning without swapping components – you’re turning a dial, not fitting different valving. Ride height is independently adjustable from the damping, so lowering the car doesn’t force a compromise on preload or available travel. Construction follows XYZ’s usual monotube-style damper body, chosen for better heat dissipation under sustained hard use than a twin-tube design allows. It’s positioned as a dual-purpose damper: capable enough for a weekend track session, but tuned to stay liveable as the car you drive to work on Monday. On a 3000 GT/GTO, that dual-purpose remit matters more than on a lighter car, because the factory ride was already tuned soft to mask the car’s weight.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi 3000 GT / GTO 4WD (1992-1996)

This kit is built for the MT03 chassis Mitsubishi 3000 GT / GTO in 4WD configuration, covering the 1992 to 1996 model years. Confirm your car is the 4WD variant before ordering, as the twin-turbo VR-4’s driveline hardware changes the suspension geometry versus the front-wheel-drive version.
