Mitsubishi AIRTREK 2001-2005 — Coilovers

The MT05 Airtrek sits high on soft, long-travel springs – sensible for a 2001 family crossover, far less so once you remember the Turbo-R hides an Evo-spec 4G63T turbo under the bonnet. This XYZ Racing coilover range for the 2001-2005 Mitsubishi Airtrek swaps that compromise for height-adjustable, damper-controlled suspension built to pull the centre of gravity down and take the slack out of a tall body.

Eight specs cover the spread, from the road-biased Super Sport and Street Advanced to the circuit-focused Circuit Master and Racing Spec, alongside Top Sport, Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally and Drift Spec. Pick the one that matches how you actually use the car, whether that is a firmer daily stance or a weekend pointed at an apex.

What this coilover does for your 2001-2005 Mitsubishi Airtrek

Drop the ride height and you immediately cut the roll and weight transfer the standard Airtrek carries through every direction change, which is a real gain on a body this tall. Threaded spring perches let you set corner heights to suit the AWD layout’s nose weight, while firmer damping controls the float the soft OEM setup allows over crests and mid-corner bumps. On a turbocharged crossover putting power through all four wheels, that steadier platform means cleaner turn-in and traction you can actually lean on out of slow corners. How much daily comfort you keep is a question of which spec you choose, not a fixed penalty you pay.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

Each kit pairs a threaded shock body with adjustable spring seats, so ride height and corner balance are set independently of spring preload – the standard way to get a lowered Airtrek sitting level without binding the suspension. Damping adjustment, where the chosen spec offers it, lets you firm up for circuit work or back off for broken B-roads on the same hardware. Spring rates and valving step up through the range: Super Sport and Street Advanced stay liveable for road use, while Racing Spec and Circuit Master carry stiffer rates aimed at sustained track sessions. The two rally specs are set up for tarmac or loose surfaces, and Drift Spec is geared towards angle and steering lock. All eight are built around the same MT05 fitment, so mounting points and dimensions are matched to the Airtrek rather than adapted from a generic strut.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi Airtrek (2001-2005)

This range is built for the MT05-chassis Mitsubishi Airtrek across the full 2001 to 2005 production run. The kits match the Airtrek’s factory mounting points and strut dimensions. Whether you run the Turbo-R or a standard model, confirm your exact build year against the configurator before ordering.
