XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Chrysler PROWLER 1997-2002

The Prowler is a strange brief for a coilover. Plymouth’s retro hot-rod was sold with a torsion-bar front end, an aluminium-intensive chassis, and a 3.5-litre V6 mounted ahead of a rear transaxle – a 50/50 weight split wrapped in a body that looks like it should be carrying a small-block. Owners keeping these cars properly sorted in 2026 are dealing with a platform the factory never tuned for spirited road work, and that is precisely the gap the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Chrysler Prowler 1997-2002 is meant to close.

This is the fast-road and weekend-track spec in the XYZ range, which is the right brief for a Prowler. Most surviving cars are dry-stored summer drivers that get the occasional hard run; very few see a full track season. Super Sport gives the chassis what the factory torsion setup never could – height adjustment and a damper that actually responds to the road underneath it.

What this coilover does for your 1997-2002 Chrysler Prowler

Lowering the Prowler closes the visual gap between the arches and the front tyres, which is the single biggest cosmetic improvement available to the platform – and the Super Sport’s threaded height adjustment lets you set it to the millimetre rather than guessing with cut springs. On the road the change is more useful than the photos suggest. The factory damping was tuned soft for cruising; the Super Sport’s 36-way bump-and-rebound adjustment lets you firm up turn-in without the brittle ride that a track-only kit would give you on broken UK B-roads. Bumps that used to send a shudder through the aluminium tub now compress and release cleanly. Mid-corner composure improves, the nose follows steering inputs more honestly, and the long-wheelbase pitch under braking calms down. You can run it soft for a Sunday drive and wind both ends up two clicks before a track day without touching a tool to the ride height.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in the middle of the XYZ Racing range – the fast-road spec built to handle both weekend race use and daily driving without forcing a compromise between the two. The damper carries 36-way adjustment combining bump and rebound, so the same coilover can be set soft for rough surfaces or firmed up for a smoother circuit. Construction is a full-length threaded body with separately adjustable spring perches, meaning ride height moves independently of preload – the right way to corner-balance a car. XYZ’s stated brief for the Super Sport is the elimination of discomfort from bumps and rough roads, and the spec sheet bears that out: this is a damper engineered to remain civil on a poorly surfaced road, not a stripped-out track-only unit. For a Prowler owner who wants the car to handle properly without becoming punishing to drive to a show, that brief lines up almost exactly.

Fitment for the Chrysler Prowler (1997-2002)

This kit is built specifically for the Chrysler Prowler chassis code CR04, covering the 1997 through 2002 model years across both the original Plymouth and later Chrysler-badged production runs. The fitment accounts for the Prowler’s unusual front torsion-bar layout and rear transaxle weight distribution.
