Mitsubishi ECLIPSE 1989-1995 — Coilovers

The first-generation Eclipse rides on the Diamond-Star Motors platform it shared with the Eagle Talon and Plymouth Laser, carrying its mass high and forward over a transverse 4G63. That nose-heavy bias is exactly what the XYZ Racing coilover range for the Mitsubishi Eclipse 1989-1995 is built to manage – taking the float out of the front end and giving the chassis a defined ride height to work from.

This is a family of height- and damping-adjustable kits rather than one fixed setup, so a GSX owner chasing AWD grip on a back road and a GS Turbo built for drag passes can each pick a spec that suits the job. The ride height drops, the body control sharpens, and the car finally sits the way the import-scene photos always promised.

What these coilovers do for your 1989-1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse

Lowering the Eclipse drops its centre of gravity and calms the body roll the soft factory struts allow when you lean on the front tyres mid-corner. The threaded platform lets you set corner balance and stance to taste, while the damping adjustment across the range firms things up for circuit and drag duty or backs off for a road car that still has to cope with British surfaces. On the turbocharged GS and GSX cars, a planted rear under hard launches turns the 4G63’s torque into traction rather than wheelspin and squat. The front-drive Eclipses turn in tidier too, with less of the nose-push and scrabble the standard setup serves up.

About the coilover range

The XYZ Racing line-up for the 1G Eclipse spans eight specifications, each tuned around a different way of using the car. Street Advanced and Super Sport sit at the fast-road end, prioritising a usable ride and adjustable height with the option to stiffen for a weekend. Top Sport and Circuit Master lean towards circuit work, with firmer rates and damping range built for sustained track sessions. Racing Spec is the competition end of the family, while Tarmac Rally and Gravel Rally bring stage-biased setups – fitting, given the GSX’s rally DNA and the 4G63’s motorsport record. Drift Spec rounds it out for owners building the car for angle. Every spec is a coilover kit with adjustable ride height and threaded spring perches, so you set the car to the job instead of accepting a one-size compromise.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi Eclipse (1989-1995)

These kits are listed for the first-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse built between 1989 and 1995, internal chassis reference MT12. The family covers both the front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive cars of this generation – confirm your exact variant and drivetrain in the configurator before ordering, as hardware can differ between the FWD and GSX AWD setups.
