XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Mitsubishi GALANT VR4 4WD (McPHERSON) 1988-1992

The Galant VR4’s AWD drivetrain and turbocharged 4G63 engine gave it genuine rally credentials in the early 1990s – and the owners still running these platforms today are well aware of the gap between the original McPherson strut geometry and what these cars are capable of with properly sorted suspension. The Street Advanced coilover addresses what thirty-five-plus years of road miles does to an MT22 chassis – not just replacing worn dampers, but giving owners a genuinely adjustable setup the original equipment never offered.

Built for road use and track-day work, the Street Advanced fits the MT22 owner who hasn’t given up on the VR4’s original promise but needs something better than worn-out factory dampers to access it. For a car with the VR4’s history, that positioning makes sense: too firm a setup fights the weight of the AWD drivetrain; too soft and the car’s real handling capability stays buried.

What this coilover does for your 1988-1992 Mitsubishi GALANT VR4 4WD (McPHERSON)

The VR4’s AWD layout carries more weight than a comparable front-drive saloon of the same era, and the factory suspension was tuned to balance executive comfort against the sporting remit – a compromise that shows when you start using the 4G63’s boost in anger. The Street Advanced’s 720-way damping range lets you find a setup that matches the actual weight and power of your car rather than working around an OEM calibration from 1988. Height adjustment via the threaded body is particularly valuable on an MT22 that’s accumulated thirty-five-plus years of road miles: correcting ride height restores the McPherson strut geometry to its designed angles, recovering the steering and handling precision that worn springs gradually erode. The VR4 was always more capable than its executive saloon appearance suggested – the Street Advanced lets you get closer to realising that.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular and widely-sold product, developed over years by their professional engineering team and validated through extensive competitive testing in racing events across the world. It is built specifically for normal road use and track days, occupying the space between a standard replacement damper and a full competition setup. The defining specification is 720-way damping adjustment – a very wide range that covers a compliant daily setting through to something considerably firmer without requiring a parts swap or rebuild. That breadth of adjustment is what makes the Street Advanced applicable to a car like the VR4, where conditions, track surface, and power output can vary significantly. XYZ Racing describe it as indispensable equipment for drivers who care about speed and control, and the range of adjustment supports that claim.
