XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Citroen ZX 1991-1998

The Citroen ZX is one of the most underrated chassis of its era – a Peugeot 306 platform-mate with passive rear-wheel steer that the 306 GTi-6 made famous, sitting in a lighter, plainer shell that the modified-car scene has only recently woken up to. The Super Sport coilover gives the ZX something the factory dampers never offered: ride-height control and 36 clicks of damping range, so a 1990s economy hatchback can finally be set up like the lightweight B-road weapon it always wanted to be.

This is a fast-road kit first and a weekend track kit second. For a Citroen ZX running on tired original struts or a sagging set of lowering springs, the Super Sport is the upgrade that brings the chassis back to life without turning it into something you can’t drive to work.

What this coilover does for your 1991-1998 Citroen ZX

The first thing you feel is the body finally being controlled. The ZX’s soft factory tune masks how good the front-wheel-drive geometry actually is, and a properly damped coilover lets the passive rear-wheel-steer effect do its job under trail braking instead of being smothered by roll. Height adjustment lets you drop the nose to clean up the arch gap without resorting to spacer-and-spring bodges. The 36-way damping range means you can run it softer for the broken tarmac most ZX owners drive on day to day, then wind in compression and rebound for a circuit day at Cadwell or Anglesey. Braking stability into a tightening corner improves immediately, and turn-in sharpens without the kit feeling brittle over expansion joints.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is built around a single-knob 36-way damping adjuster that controls compression and rebound together, paired with independent ride-height adjustment on the lower bracket. XYZ Racing’s brief for this damper is explicit – it has to absorb bumps and rough surfaces rather than skip across them, which is the failure mode of cheap coilovers wound stiff. The valving is set up so the kit can move between weekend race duty and daily commuting on the same car, on the same settings, without the driver having to live with crash-bang ride quality the other six days of the week. Construction is a sealed-shock design with adjustable spring perches, sized for the ZX’s strut dimensions rather than a generic platform fit.
