XYZ Racing Gravel Rally Coilovers — Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD 1989-1995

The 4G63T turbo four in the first-generation Eclipse Turbo 4WD sits over a chassis that was never designed with loose-surface stages in mind, and the factory struts show it the moment the road turns to washboard or scattered stone: the fronts pack down under repeated hits and the AWD driveline passes every jolt straight into the cabin. XYZ Racing’s Gravel Rally coilover answers that directly, with a longer stroke and a taller spring than anything in the road-biased end of this catalogue.

For gravel-stage work in a car whose running gear was built for exactly this kind of use – the Eclipse Turbo 4WD shares its driveline with the Talon TSi AWD and Laser RS Turbo AWD, Diamond-Star’s own rally-homologated platform – you need a damper that keeps absorbing hits without fading. This kit is that damper: inverted-tube construction, long-travel internals, and spring rates set through real rally testing rather than a calculation sheet.

What this coilover does for your 1989-1995 Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD

On loose surfaces the extra stroke keeps the wheel loaded through compressions that would bottom out a shorter-travel setup, so the AWD system’s torque split stays useful instead of feeding power to a wheel that’s briefly off the ground. The taller, longer spring soaks up the vibration that sandstone, snow-packed ruts and silt transmit through the shell, cutting the fatigue that builds over a full stage rather than a smooth circuit lap. Because the inverted-tube layout keeps unsprung mass and internal friction low, the nose tracks straighter under braking into a hairpin, which matters on a front-heavy turbocharged four-cylinder like the 4G63T. Ride height and preload adjustment let you set the Eclipse Turbo 4WD up for the stage in front of you – more clearance for rocky sections, a lower stance for a faster, smoother road – without changing hardware.

About the Gravel Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built this range for rally and rallycross, where the surface underneath the car is the most punishing of any discipline the brand covers. The inverted-tube layout is a direct response to that: flipping the tube changes how the damper deals with debris and contamination compared with a conventional strut, which matters when the ground shifts from sandstone to snow to silt inside the same run. Stroke and spring length are both extended well past a circuit-biased kit, giving the damper the travel to absorb chassis vibration and the repeated, high-G compressions that come from attacking a rough, fast surface. Every spring rate in the range was set through testing with a rally racing team rather than pulled from a calculation alone, so the base tune reflects what actually happens on gravel, not what a spec sheet predicts.

Fitment for the Mitsubishi ECLIPSE TURBO 4WD (1989-1995)

This kit is built for the MT13-chassis Eclipse Turbo 4WD produced between 1989 and 1995, covering the turbocharged AWD variant rather than the naturally aspirated front-drive cars sold alongside it. Confirm your build date and driveline fall within that window before ordering, as mounting points changed across the wider Eclipse range.
