XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Ford FIESTA ST 2013-2017

The Mk7 Fiesta ST built its reputation on a rear axle that wants to rotate the moment you lift, and a front end that darts at an apex with almost no warning. The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover for the Ford Fiesta ST (2013-2017) is built to keep that mischief intact while taking the float out of the standard dampers over a cresting British B-road.

Top Sport sits at the point where a fast-road set-up starts borrowing from circuit settings. It runs firmer springs and more damping than a street kit, so the car stays flat through a long corner instead of leaning on its outer front tyre, yet it is still composed enough to drive to the track day rather than trailer there.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2017 Ford Fiesta ST

The standard ST turns in keenly but rolls onto one corner and runs short of damper control on broken tarmac, which is where mid-corner confidence leaks away. The Top Sport kit carries roughly 30 to 50 percent more damping than a street setting, so body movements are checked rather than left to oscillate, and the front tyre stays loaded through the steering. A spring rate around 2kg/mm stiffer than a soft street tune flattens the roll that makes the ST feel like it is balancing on a single wheel. Height adjustment lets you drop the centre of gravity and close the arch gap without distorting the geometry. On a damp roundabout or a kerbed apex, the car settles faster and puts the 1.6 EcoBoost’s mid-range down sooner.

About the Top Sport coilover

Top Sport is XYZ Racing’s bridge between a comfort-biased street coilover and a full circuit kit, with settings drawn from the company’s own Top Sport racing programme. Against a street tune it adds in the region of 30 to 50 percent more damping force and steps the spring rate up by about 2kg/mm. That firmer base could read as a punishing ride, but the valving is tuned to absorb the jolt of a big bump and stop it ringing through the shell rather than simply resisting every input. The point of that is traction: keeping the contact patch planted over uneven pavement holds the tyre to the road instead of letting it skip. Stability through quick direction changes is the headline, which is what an aggressively driven Fiesta ST asks for. It is built for track day use and hard road driving, not outright softness.
