XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Chevrolet CORVETTE C7 2013-2019

The C7 Corvette arrived with magnetic dampers and a transverse leaf spring rear, a clever factory setup that punches above its weight on smooth tarmac and goes vague the moment the road turns. Swap to the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover and the C7 stops feeling like a GT pretending to be a sports car and starts behaving like the front-engine, rear-drive 6.2 it actually is.

For a Stingray, Grand Sport or Z51 spending its weekends between B-road blasts and the occasional Castle Combe or Donington trackday, the Super Sport is the right pick. It is the type in XYZ’s range engineered specifically for that fast-road-plus-occasional-track buyer who refuses to give up daily driveability.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Chevrolet Corvette C7

The first thing you feel is the LT1’s nose finally settling under braking instead of pitching forward onto the front tyres. With 36-way damping at each corner, you can wind compression up for the long left at Druids without the rear axle going light on corner exit. Ride height is fully adjustable, so you can pull the C7 closer to the floor without the bump-stop crashes that plague lowered Corvettes on the factory leaf-spring setup. Mid-corner steering response sharpens noticeably because the body is no longer working against soft factory damping. And critically for a UK-driven C7, you can back the damping off for the drive home and the car remains civil on broken Surrey tarmac.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is the road-and-occasional-track member of XYZ’s coilover family. The damper has been engineered to eliminate the harshness that comes from coarse-chip and patched UK tarmac, which matters on a wide-track car like the C7 that picks up every cat’s-eye and expansion joint. Damping is adjusted via a single 36-way knob on each unit, covering everything from a compliant daily setting to a firm circuit setting. Ride height adjustment is independent of spring preload, so corner-weighting the car at a setup day does not force a height change. XYZ position the Super Sport as suitable for both weekend race work and daily use, which is the brief the C7 was built for.
