Mitsubishi 3000GT and Dodge Stealth Coilovers

For Mitsubishi 3000GT and Dodge Stealth coilovers, the first question is whether the car is all-wheel drive or front drive. The two cars are twins, and that one detail decides the kit. We carry eight kits for both badges, 1991 to 1999.

Not sure which drive layout your car left the factory with? Read us the VIN: 1-800-460-9106.

Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.

Before you buy: what 3000GT owners run into

The 3000GT and Stealth have a loyal following, but the cars are rarer every year, and the forums are far quieter than in the cars' heyday. Coilover reports are limited. The one item we can confirm matters on many early cars: the ECS electronic struts.

ECS electronic struts on earlier cars
3000GT and Stealth with ECS, 1991 to 1995 (not on 1996 to 1999 cars)

Owners on 3SGTO describe Tour and Sport ECS faults on aging struts and controllers. Many rear springs and shocks are sold only for ECS cars, and later cars without ECS need extra parts to add it. ECS changes which parts fit and what the controller reports once the factory struts are gone.

Before you install: Check for the Tour and Sport switch and ECS struts before ordering, and plan with your installer how the ECS system and its lights will be handled.

Questions we hear about these two cars

Does it matter if my 3000GT is AWD or front drive?

Yes. BC and Ksport each have separate AWD and front-drive kits, and KW's kit is made for the VR-4. Only TEIN's Flex Z kit names no drive type.

Will a 3000GT kit fit my Dodge Stealth?

BC's two kits name both the 3000GT and the Stealth. Ksport sells separate Stealth kits for 1991 to 1996.

My car is a Spyder. Is there a kit for it?

BC's AWD and FWD kits both name the Spyder along with the coupe. The other kits do not mention it, so call us first.

Which BC series fit these cars?

Both BC kits come in BR, DS or RM.

Is a warranty included with the BC kits?

BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. KW, Ksport and TEIN publish separate terms.
