XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ford FOCUS ST MK4 HATCHBACK 2019-2026

The MK4 Focus ST arrived with the EcoBoost 2.3 making 276bhp through the front axle, an electronic limited-slip diff, and a chassis that was clearly tuned for the road first and the circuit second. That last part is where owners tend to start reaching for the parts catalogue. The factory dampers cope, but lean on them through a fast sequence at Cadwell or on a B-road that pitches and rolls, and the front end starts running out of body control well before the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S runs out of grip.

The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Ford Focus ST MK4 Hatchback is built for owners who want that secondary track ability properly unlocked without surrendering the car as a daily. Ride height and damping are both in your hands, so the same car that does the school run on Tuesday can be set up for a Llandow trackday on Saturday.

What this coilover does for your 2019-2026 Ford Focus ST MK4 Hatchback

Drop the front of the MK4 ST and the visual change is obvious, but the handling change matters more – lowering the centre of gravity tightens up the turn-in that the standard car softens, and reduces the dive under hard braking from three-figure speeds. The 36-way damping adjustment is the real working tool here: wind off clicks for a long motorway run, wind them back on when you arrive at the paddock. On a torque-steering, front-driven hatch like the Focus ST, controlling vertical wheel movement under power is what stops the inside front wheel spinning up out of slow corners – the Super Sport gives you the bandwidth to set the front axle so the eLSD can actually do its job.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road-with-track-weekends damper, sat between the daily-biased Sport range and the circuit-focused Top Sport. The headline number is 36-way compression-and-rebound adjustment from a single knob per corner, which gives you a usable spread from soft road comfort to a firmer track setting without changing parts. Ride height is fully adjustable independently of spring preload, so corner balance and stance can be set separately rather than fighting each other. XYZ’s own brief on the Super Sport is that it was developed to remove the harshness that aftermarket coilovers typically introduce on rough surfaces – the kind of compromise that puts plenty of UK owners off going down the coilover route in the first place. It is, by their own description, a high-performance damper suitable for weekend racing and daily use, which is exactly the brief most MK4 ST owners are writing.
