XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD 1989-1995

The DSM Eclipse Turbo 4WD’s biggest asset on a circuit is also its biggest handling problem: a full-time all-wheel-drive system and a 2.0-litre turbo four sitting well forward of the front axle line. That nose-heavy layout wants to push wide on turn-in unless the springs and damping are stiff enough to keep weight transfer under control lap after lap. XYZ Racing’s Racing Spec coilover is built specifically for that fight.

This isn’t a fast-road compromise. Racing Spec is XYZ’s dedicated circuit and time-attack platform, and on the 1G/1G-DSM chassis it’s aimed at owners running the car at track days or in wheel-to-wheel competition, where the AWD system’s extra unsprung mass needs damping that won’t fade or wander off its setting between sessions.

What this coilover does for your 1989-1995 Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD

Fitted to a 1989-1995 Eclipse Turbo 4WD, the Racing Spec kit sharpens turn-in response by cutting the body roll that the AWD driveline and turbocharger’s extra front mass otherwise encourage. Height-adjustable perches let you drop the centre of gravity and correct the corner weights the drivetrain naturally skews toward the nose, while the stiffer spring rates keep the chassis flatter under trail-braking into slow corners – the point where this car’s front-heavy balance shows up hardest. The damper settings are drawn from circuit racing use rather than road-comfort compromise, so the platform stays consistent as track temperatures climb and tyre grip changes through a session. For a car whose factory suspension was never built around sustained lapping, that consistency is the difference between a car that’s predictable on lap ten and one that isn’t.

About the Racing Spec coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Racing Spec damper directly from its motorsport programme, with settings pulled from real circuit competition including WTCC entries rather than derived from road-going data. It’s the top end of the XYZ coilover range, built for cars that see track days, time attack, or wheel-to-wheel racing rather than road use. Where a car has already had significant chassis or drivetrain upgrades – bigger brakes, wider track, a built engine – XYZ can build a custom-valved shock absorber around that specific setup; owners are asked to detail their modifications and the circuit they intend to run so the damping can be matched accordingly. That bespoke option matters on a platform like the Eclipse Turbo 4WD, where cars in serious use have often moved well beyond factory spec. The construction and adjustability are aimed squarely at repeat, high-load track sessions rather than a single trackday outing.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD (1989-1995)

This kit is built for the MT13 chassis Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo 4WD produced between 1989 and 1995. Confirm your car sits within that build range and carries the turbocharged AWD drivetrain before ordering, as the Racing Spec kit is matched to this specific chassis code rather than the naturally aspirated or front-wheel-drive Eclipse variants.
