XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Mitsubishi ECLIPSE 2006-2012

The fourth-generation Eclipse’s grand touring brief left it sitting higher and rolling more than its sporting proportions suggest. With the 3.8-litre V6 GT’s considerable weight sat over the front axle in a front-wheel-drive layout, the factory suspension leans towards cruising comfort over body control – a reasonable factory decision, but one that costs the MT16 the handling precision the platform is capable of. The Street Advanced replaces those compliance-biased units with a coilover that puts ride height and damping firmly in the owner’s hands.

For the MT16, this is the practical path to recovering the handling that the Eclipse’s bones always promised. XYZ Racing’s Street Advanced sits between a stock replacement and a dedicated track kit – adjustable enough for GT owners who want a lower, firmer setup year-round without turning a front-heavy grand tourer into something that punishes every pothole on the A-road home.

What this coilover does for your 2006-2012 Mitsubishi Eclipse

The 720-position damping range is the meaningful number here. Drop the ride height and the Eclipse GT’s centre of gravity drops with it, directly reducing the body roll that smears the V6’s torque across the front tyres on corner entry. Work through the damping range and you can tighten the front end’s response without stiffening the rear into brittleness – a balance that matters on a nose-heavy FWD platform. On circuit, firming the compression setting keeps the car flatter under hard braking, replacing the slack, vague feedback the stock units give with a more planted, readable front end.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most broadly specified coilover, the product of years of development and circuit validation by their professional engineering team across events worldwide. Each kit offers 720 damping adjustment positions, providing a genuine span from touring-biased compliance to focused circuit stiffness. Normal road use is the primary design brief, but the adjustment range is wide enough to cover track days without swapping hardware. Construction reflects extended competition use – the Street Advanced carries real mileage from serious circuit work, and that experience informs how each unit handles repeated, sustained load. It is built for drivers who want speed and control together, not one at the expense of the other.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi Eclipse (2006-2012)

This Street Advanced kit is built for the Mitsubishi Eclipse MT16 chassis across the full 2006 to 2012 production run. It covers both the 2.4-litre four-cylinder GS and the 3.8-litre V6 GT variants. If the car has had previous aftermarket suspension work, verify the existing spring perch dimensions before ordering.
