XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Mitsubishi COLT CVT 2006-2013

The Mitsubishi Colt Z30 with a CVT gearbox is an unlikely track candidate on paper – lightweight, front-driven, and carrying the additional mass of the continuously variable transmission stacked ahead of the front axle. That nose-heavy tendency, combined with the platform’s MacPherson strut front end and torsion beam rear, gives the Colt a predictable but understeer-prone character once loads build at the corner entry. The Racing Spec coilover exists to address that balance directly, not soften around it.

This is not a setup for fast-road use. The Racing Spec designation sits at the top of the XYZ Racing coilover hierarchy and is built specifically for circuit and time-attack work, where corner-entry consistency and damper performance under sustained mechanical stress matter above all else.

What this coilover does for your 2006-2013 Mitsubishi COLT CVT

The Z30’s torsion beam rear is a well-known limiting factor when pushing for sharper response, and the front axle carries more inertia than the Colt’s compact dimensions suggest once the CVT unit is factored in. The Racing Spec coilover allows you to run significantly higher spring rates front and rear, reducing the dive that blunts turn-in through the first third of a corner and lifting front roll resistance so the car rotates rather than ploughs. On a CVT-equipped Colt, managing that nose weight through geometry and spring selection makes the difference between an apex that requires steering corrections and one that holds a clean line. The upgraded damper control also prevents the torsion beam from overworking under hard corner exit, preserving traction precisely where a softer setup bleeds it.

About the Racing Spec coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Racing Spec damper range specifically for track racing, calibrating every setting through direct participation in competitive events including the WTCC. That development basis means the damping characteristics are grounded in data gathered under race conditions, not derived from road-car testing and extrapolated upward. Construction prioritises stiffness, thermal consistency under repeated hard use, and responsiveness to aggressive spring rate choices – the qualities that distinguish a competition damper from a sportier road unit.

For Colt CVT builds carrying significant mechanical upgrades – aggressively modified engines, uprated drivetrain components, A-class-level conversions – fully custom shock absorber specifications are available. Provide XYZ Racing with details of your upgraded components and the circuit or event you intend to run, and a bespoke build can be produced to match.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi COLT CVT (2006-2013)

This Racing Spec coilover fits the Mitsubishi Colt CVT across the full 2006-2013 production span, chassis code CVT. Confirm your existing suspension state and any previous modifications before ordering, particularly if the car has been lowered or the subframe geometry has been altered. No drivetrain or bodywork changes are required for standard fitment.
