Mitsubishi COLT 1987-1992 — Coilovers

The MT06-generation Mitsubishi COLT weighs a fraction of anything built today, and that low mass is the whole story the moment you change its springs and dampers. On the original setup the front end leans onto its outer shoulder and the back goes light over mid-corner bumps, and thirty-plus years on most survivors are riding on struts that gave up long ago. A coilover kit resets the COLT to a known, adjustable baseline instead of a worn one.

This page covers the full XYZ Racing coilover range for the 1987-1992 Mitsubishi COLT, from road-biased setups through to circuit and rally builds. Pick by how the car actually gets used: supple fast-road damping that survives a broken B-road, or stiffer competition rates for a stripped car that sees paddock and stage duty.

What this coilover range does for your 1987-1992 Mitsubishi COLT

Ride-height adjustment lets you drop the COLT’s tall late-80s stance and close the wheel-arch gap without dragging the geometry out of shape. On a chassis this light, matched spring and damper rates kill the float that tired factory struts allow, so the front tyres stay loaded through a corner rather than rolling the car onto its edge. On the specs with damping adjustment you can firm things up for track work or wind it back for rough Tarmac. The result is a COLT that turns in cleanly, holds its chosen line, and stops pattering every time the surface changes.

About the XYZ Racing COLT coilover range

The range is built around height-adjustable coilover units with application-specific spring and damper tuning, not a single one-size strut. Eight specifications cover how owners genuinely run these cars: Street Advanced and Super Sport for daily and fast-road use, Top Sport and Circuit Master for track days and circuit work, and Racing Spec for outright competition. Tarmac Rally and Gravel Rally handle stage work on sealed and loose surfaces respectively, with the longer travel and revised valving that rough going demands, while Drift Spec is set up for lock and slip-angle duty. Where a spec offers damper adjustment, you can tune compression and rebound to the surface and the tyre you are running.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi COLT (1987-1992)

Every kit in this range is built for the MT06-chassis Mitsubishi COLT across the 1987 to 1992 model years. The fitment is specific to this generation, not the earlier or later COLT bodies, so confirm your exact variant before ordering. Choose your preferred spec from the configurator and match it to your strut dimensions.
