Ohlins MIZ MI00S1 Road & Track DFV Monotube Coilovers 1996-2001 Mitsubishi EVO

Vehicle Fitment

• 1996-1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV (CN9A)
• 1998-1999 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V (CP9A)
• 1999-2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI / VI Tommi Makinen Edition (CP9A)

Fitment Notes

• Ohlins spherical bearing upper mounts are included at both front and rear - OE top mounts are not used with this kit
• Front and rear ride height are independently adjustable via separate spring preload and ride height adjusters; target ride height is approximately 15mm lower than OE at both ends
• This kit is built to order - allow approximately 2-6 weeks for shipping after order placement
• Dampers are fully rebuildable and can be revalved or supplied with alternative spring rates through an authorized Ohlins service center
• Professional installation recommended; mounting instructions and owner's manual are included
• Sold as a complete coilover kit - springs, spherical bearing mounts, and mounting hardware included

Features

• Patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology - exclusive to Ohlins Road & Track; provides matched damping characteristics on both compression and rebound strokes, allowing the tire to return to the road surface faster after any input for improved grip, traction, and cornering response on the EVO's demanding AWD platform
• Single-knob damping adjustment simultaneously changes all four damping parameters - high-speed compression, low-speed compression, high-speed rebound, and low-speed rebound - allowing rapid mode switching between road comfort and track stiffness
• 20+ click individual damping adjustment range per damper for precise, corner-by-corner tuning of suspension response and handling balance
• Monotube damper architecture - inverted front struts for increased lateral rigidity and bending resistance; aluminum body rear shocks for reduced unsprung weight and improved heat dissipation under sustained track use
• Ohlins spherical bearing upper mounts - included front and rear - replace OE rubber mounts entirely for sharper steering response, reduced compliance steer, and more consistent camber behavior under the high cornering loads generated by the EVO's AWD system
• Matched 90 N/mm spring rate front and rear suits the EVO's balanced weight distribution and AWD understeer characteristics, providing a stiff, precise platform for aggressive track and time attack use
• Fully rebuildable design allows revalving and servicing at an Ohlins authorized service center to maintain performance or adapt damping for different applications
• All dampers corrosion-tested to ISO 9227 for long-term durability in road and track environments
• Backed by Ohlins' worldwide 2-year limited warranty

Product Description

The Ohlins MIZ MI00S1 is a complete Road & Track coilover suspension system engineered specifically for the 1996-2001 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV, V, and VI (chassis codes CN9A and CP9A). Built around Ohlins' patented Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology, the system provides matched damper fluid flow characteristics on both compression and rebound strokes - allowing the tire to return to the road surface faster after each input for sharper lateral grip, more balanced cornering, and a more planted feel at the limit. The matched 90 N/mm spring rate front and rear is tuned to the EVO's balanced weight distribution and AWD architecture, providing a stiff, precise platform suited to aggressive track use, time attack, and rally-inspired driving without requiring frequent spring swaps between applications.

Ohlins spherical bearing upper mounts are included at both front and rear - replacing OE rubber mounts entirely for sharper steering input, reduced compliance steer under the high lateral loads the EVO's AWD system generates, and more consistent camber behavior throughout the suspension travel range. Inverted front struts increase lateral rigidity at the strut; aluminum body rear shocks reduce unsprung weight and improve thermal management during sustained track sessions. Damping is tunable across 20+ clicks per corner via a single gold knob. The monotube dampers are fully rebuildable and can be revalved through an Ohlins authorized service center. Built to order with an approximate 2-6 week lead time; backed by a 2-year worldwide limited warranty.
