XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ford KA 2008-2014

The second-generation Ford KA shares its Fiat 500 platform underpinnings, and that heritage shows in how the chassis behaves once you push it – a short wheelbase that wants to rotate, a tall body that leans hard on its outside front tyre, and factory dampers that give up well before the rest of the car does. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the 2008-2014 Ford KA addresses exactly that: a height-adjustable, 36-way damper-tuned setup that lets a light, lively city car drive like the pocket B-road weapon it always wanted to be.

This is the fast-road-plus-occasional-track spec in XYZ Racing’s coilover range. For a 1.2 or 1.3 TDCi KA built for weekend B-road runs with the odd trackday at Castle Combe or Cadwell, the Super Sport sits in the right place between comfort and control.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2014 Ford KA

Drop the body 30-40mm and a Mk2 KA suddenly looks the part – planted, tucked, properly stanced over the arches. More importantly, the geometry change tightens up the front-end response that the soft factory springs blur. The 36-way damping adjustment is the lever you actually use day to day: wind the clicks off for the school run and the cratered surfaces of a typical UK back road, then add compression damping before a track session to control the body roll a short, tall hatch generates through fast direction changes. Brake dive into a hairpin reduces. Mid-corner attitude becomes something you can place, rather than something the car decides for you.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the all-rounder – engineered for cars that need to drive home Monday morning after a Sunday on circuit. Ride height is fully adjustable at each corner, letting you set rake and corner-weight on a four-pot KA without resorting to spacers or spring-perch fudges. The 36-way dampening range covers a genuinely broad spread, from a compliant setting that absorbs broken tarmac to a firmer click count that resists the pitch and roll a 950kg city car develops at speed. Construction is built around repeat thermal cycling, which matters once you start stringing laps together rather than treating the dampers as a one-shot static drop. The shorter answer: it is a damper designed to handle weekend racing duties and Monday-morning commuting on the same set of clicks – just adjusted to taste.
