XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ford i-MAX 2005-2010

The Ford i-MAX sits in an unusual corner of the modifying world: a compact MPV built on Fiesta-era Ford underpinnings, carrying a tall body over a short wheelbase, and tuned from the factory for school-run comfort rather than corner balance. That tall roofline and softly-sprung setup are exactly what hurts the car when an enthusiast owner asks more of it – body roll arrives early, the front loads up under braking, and the standard ride height does the styling no favours.

The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the 2005-2010 i-MAX (FO09) is the fast-road answer to that. It drops the body, tightens the damping, and lets you tune the car for B-road work and the occasional weekend track outing without giving up the daily-driver brief the i-MAX was bought for in the first place.

What this coilover does for your 2005-2010 Ford i-MAX

Lowering the i-MAX shifts its centre of gravity downward, which is the single biggest win on a tall-bodied car – turn-in sharpens, body roll falls away, and the chassis stops leaning on the outside front tyre the way it does on standard springs. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you run the car softer for daily commuting and motorway work, then wind compression and rebound up for a weekend B-road blast or a track day. Ride-height adjustability means you can set the stance to suit your wheel and tyre choice rather than living with the gap the factory left over the arches. On a chassis this softly sprung from new, the change in body control after fitting is one of the most obvious upgrades you can make.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road and weekend-track damper, built around a 36-way adjustable damping circuit that covers both compression and rebound on a single dial per corner. The unit is engineered to soak up the discomfort of poor road surfaces while still giving the body control needed for harder driving, so the same kit covers the daily commute and the occasional track session without a respec. Ride height is independently adjustable, allowing the buyer to set drop and corner balance to suit the car’s actual wheel and tyre package. The 36 damping positions give a useful working range – softer settings keep the car civilised over speed bumps and broken tarmac, firmer settings tighten the chassis up for a Sunday-morning drive or a sighting lap.

Fitment for the Ford i-MAX (2005-2010)

This kit is built specifically for the 2005-2010 Ford i-MAX, chassis code FO09. The damper bodies, top mounts and spring rates are matched to the i-MAX’s geometry and weight distribution rather than borrowed from a Fiesta-spec kit.
