XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mitsubishi LANCER (CHINA MARKET ONLY) 1997-2006

China-market Lancers from this generation were tuned from the factory to absorb the varied and often punishing road surfaces across the PRC – a sensible OEM decision that becomes a liability the moment you want the chassis to communicate. The MT28-1 platform has the bones of a capable front-wheel drive compact sedan; what it lacks is a suspension system that lets those bones work.

The XYZ Racing Super Sport sits in the dual-purpose tier of the XYZ catalogue – calibrated for fast-road use with enough range to handle a weekend circuit session without asking you to choose between one or the other. For the 1997-2006 China-market Lancer, which spent its factory life deliberately insulated from the road, the step up in responsiveness is considerable.

What this coilover does for your 1997-2006 Mitsubishi Lancer (China Market Only)

The FWD layout of the MT28-1 Lancer means front-axle grip and body control are everything, and the soft factory dampers do the chassis no favours when you start pressing. Fitting the Super Sport’s 36-way adjustable setup lets you tighten body roll without making the car hostile over rougher surfaces – a balance that matters on a car originally tuned for urban compliance. Adjustable ride height corrects the standard geometry, bringing the Lancer’s handling closer to its actual capability. The front tyres load more consistently, steering response sharpens, and the vagueness that characterises the stock setup at speed disappears.

About the Super Sport Coilovers

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport is a full coilover system with 36-way damping adjustment, developed specifically for owners who cover real mileage on imperfect roads but want a chassis that responds when asked. The system is engineered to significantly reduce the discomfort caused by surface irregularities while still delivering the body-control and handling gains a performance suspension demands. Ride height adjustment is built in, giving genuine scope to set the car’s stance and refine geometry rather than simply dropping the ride height and accepting whatever follows. The Super Sport has been developed with weekend circuit use alongside regular daily driving, positioning it above the entry-level options in the XYZ range while remaining accessible to drivers who aren’t working with an alignment rig between sessions.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi Lancer (China Market Only) (1997-2006)

This kit is designed specifically for the Mitsubishi Lancer (China Market Only) on the MT28-1 platform, covering model years 1997 to 2006. The China-market designation is not cosmetic – this variant was built to a different specification from the globally-sold Lancer CE and CS series, and the fitment data reflects that difference. Confirm your chassis code is MT28-1 before ordering.
