XYZ Racing Pro Racing Gravel/Snow Coilovers — Mitsubishi ECLIPSE 1989-1995

The first-generation Eclipse – the MT12 DSM that dropped a transverse 4G63 turbo and, in GSX form, full-time four-wheel drive into an affordable coupe – was never happiest pinned to smooth tarmac. Lift it onto gravel, snow or a broken rally stage and standard damping runs out of travel long before the chassis runs out of grip.

The XYZ Racing Pro Racing Gravel/Snow coilover for the Mitsubishi Eclipse 1989-1995 is built for exactly that environment. It trades the short, hard stroke of a circuit setup for long-travel front and rear units that keep all four corners loaded when the surface stops cooperating.

What this coilover does for your 1989-1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The extra suspension travel front and rear gives the car a larger buffer before it crashes into the bump stops, so the 1G Eclipse stays settled over crests, ruts and frozen ridges that would unstick a stiffer kit. A bigger volume of damper oil and nitrogen gas means the shocks resist heat build-up across a long stage, holding their rate where a track-spec damper would already have started to fade. Three-way adjustment lets you separate the soft compliance you want on loose surfaces from the body control you need under power – which matters in a nose-heavy turbo car that loads its front axle hard on corner exit. The net result is a Mitsubishi Eclipse you can drive at the limit on gravel or snow rather than merely survive.

About the Pro Racing Gravel/Snow coilover

The Pro Racing Gravel/Snow coilover is XYZ Racing’s loose-surface specification, developed for rally and rallycross rather than the circuit. Its defining trait is travel: both front and rear dampers are lengthened to open up a far bigger working range, which is what keeps the car stable when the ground drops away beneath it. To support that, the design carries a greater quantity of shock oil and nitrogen gas than a conventional kit, raising thermal capacity so the damping does not deteriorate once the oil would otherwise overheat under sustained use. Adjustment runs through three knobs, and the internal valving uses a small oil-hole passage; over large impacts the oil forced through that passage can produce a faint noise, which is a normal characteristic of the design rather than a fault. This is a coilover engineered to absorb repeated heavy hits without protest.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi Eclipse (1989-1995)

This kit is cut for the first-generation Mitsubishi Eclipse, chassis code MT12, covering the 1989 to 1995 model years. With these DSMs now firmly into modern-classic territory, a fresh set of adjustable dampers is often the difference between a car that stays competitive and one that gets parked. Confirm your exact variant against the configurator before ordering.
