XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Mitsubishi COLT CZT 1.5 TURBO 2004-2013

The Colt CZT’s soft factory springs let the nose pitch and the body roll long before its 1.5-litre turbo runs out of puff – it is a willing little hatch hamstrung by suspension tuned for comfort rather than commitment. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Mitsubishi COLT CZT 1.5 Turbo (2004-2013) tightens that platform up so the chassis can finally keep pace with the engine.

This is a height-and-damping-adjustable kit built for an owner who drives the car every day but wants it to come alive on a favourite road or an occasional track day. For a Z30-era Colt that shares much of its architecture with the Smart ForFour, sorting the springs and dampers is the single change that does the most to transform how it feels.

What this coilover does for your 2004-2013 Mitsubishi COLT CZT 1.5 Turbo

Drop the ride height and you cut the centre of gravity that lets a tall supermini lean so much mid-corner, sharpening turn-in and settling the front axle as the turbo loads it up. The 720-way damping range is the headline here: wind the dampers soft for ragged town roads, then firm them up to control the weight transfer and the CZT’s lift-off behaviour when you start pressing on. Firmer, better-controlled springing also reins in the front-end squat under boost that feeds torque steer through a light front-wheel-drive hatch. The result is a car that breathes with the road surface instead of floating over it, with brake dive kept in check so the nose stays composed under hard stops.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced sits at the heart of XYZ Racing’s range and has been refined over several years by the company’s engineering team, with development carried out alongside competitive race programmes before being signed off for the road. It is built deliberately as a dual-purpose kit: civil enough for normal daily use, yet capable of holding its composure during a track day. The defining feature is its 720-way damping adjustment, which gives a genuinely wide spread between a compliant street setting and a tied-down performance one from a single set of struts. Threaded spring platforms handle ride-height adjustment, so stance and corner balance can be set independently of the damper feel. For a Colt CZT owner who wants more speed and more control without owning a stripped-out track car, it covers the brief.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi COLT CZT 1.5 TURBO (2004-2013)

This kit is matched to the MT08-chassis Mitsubishi Colt CZT 1.5 Turbo across the full 2004 to 2013 production run. It is a direct fit for the front-wheel-drive turbocharged CZT, so the struts and adjustment range are specified for this exact variant rather than a generic Colt application. Confirm your model year against the range above before configuring.
