XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Toyota STARLET EP7/8/9 1984-1999

The EP-series Starlet weighs barely more than 900kg, and that featherweight kerb mass is exactly why its suspension reacts so sharply to change. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Toyota Starlet EP7/8/9 swaps the soft, roll-prone factory setup for a height-adjustable platform with 720 damping settings, giving this little turbocharged hatch the body control its chassis was always capable of.

Built for fast-road use with the headroom to step up to track days, the Street Advanced sits where most EP82 and EP91 owners actually live – firmer than standard, but civil enough to drive every day. It lets you lower the car, sharpen turn-in, and settle the light rear axle the Starlet is famous for lifting under a trailing throttle.

What this coilover does for your 1984-1999 Toyota Starlet EP7/8/9

On a kerb weight this low, every adjustment is felt at the seat. The 720-way damping range lets you firm up the front to curb the torque steer the 4E-FTE motors send through the steering, then soften the rear enough to keep the inside wheel planted out of slow corners. Ride-height adjustment drops the centre of gravity and tidies the arch gap without spacers or cut springs. On a B-road the Starlet stops pitching under braking and rolling through quick changes of direction; on a track day the same kit holds the nose flat enough to brake deep into a hairpin. Everyday comfort survives because you can wind the damping back off when the lap timer is away.

About the Street Advanced coilover

XYZ Racing positions the Street Advanced as the most popular kit in its range, refined over years of in-house development and proven across international race programmes before reaching production. The headline figure is 720 individual damping combinations, set through one adjuster so a single kit covers a soft daily tune and a tied-down circuit setting. It is engineered to bridge normal road use and occasional track work rather than committing to either extreme, which suits a car as multi-purpose as the Starlet. Height-adjustable spring platforms let you set stance independently of damper travel, and the whole design is aimed at drivers chasing more speed and tighter control without giving up usability.
