XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Chevrolet CORVETTE C5/C6 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 1997-2013

The C5 and C6 Corvette were built around a transverse composite leaf spring and Chevrolet’s Magnetic Selective Ride Control – clever for 2003, but a closed system that locks you out of any real chassis tuning. This XYZ Racing Super Sport kit ships with the electronic damping cancellation hardware specifically because the factory MagneRide loop has to be told the dampers are gone before the dash will stop sulking.

For a fast-road C5 or C6 that occasionally sees a track day at Snetterton or Cadwell, this is the conversion that finally gives the car a corner-weighted, height-adjustable, properly damped setup without warning lights or limp-mode surprises.

What this coilover does for your 1997-2013 Chevrolet CORVETTE C5/C6 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

Replacing the transverse leaf and OE dampers with a coilover-per-corner setup is the single biggest handling change you can make to a C5 or C6. Ride height drops to a sensible stance without the wallowy mid-corner float the leaf-sprung cars are known for, and turn-in sharpens dramatically once the front axle is sitting on properly rated springs. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you run a softer, compliant setting for the A1 northbound run home and wind the clickers up for a Bedford trackday the following morning. Brake dive under hard stops settles down, throttle-on squat at the rear is contained, and the back axle stops walking under power-on out of slow corners – particularly noticeable in the LS3 C6s with their extra torque.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s dual-purpose damper aimed squarely at the fast-road-plus-weekend-track customer rather than the dedicated circuit car. The damper is built to soak up rough tarmac and broken surfaces without the spine-jarring compromise typical of cheaper coilover kits, while still giving a useable adjustment window for harder driving. Ride height is fully adjustable on the body, so you set the stance and corner-weight independently of preload – the right way to do it. The 36-way damping dial covers both compression and rebound in a single click range, which means you can chase a setup for a given road or circuit without specialist tools. XYZ has positioned this kit explicitly for owners who want one car that works for the daily commute, the Sunday B-road blast, and occasional lapping days, rather than forcing a choice between comfort and capability.

Fitment for the Chevrolet CORVETTE C5/C6 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (1997-2013)

This kit is specifically built for the C5 (chassis code CH08-C) and C6 generations of the Chevrolet Corvette, covering the full 1997-2013 production span. The cancellation harness is included so cars originally fitted with Magnetic Selective Ride Control or the later MagneRide system can be converted without throwing dash codes. Confirm your car’s original damping option before ordering – non-MagneRide cars do not need the cancellation hardware.
