XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Ford PROBE 1993-1997

The second-generation Probe sits on a Mazda-derived front-wheel-drive platform that was already one of the better-handling coupes of its era, but three decades of tired OEM struts have turned most surviving cars into wallowing memories of what Ford intended. The Street Advanced coilover is the sensible answer: a height-adjustable, damping-adjustable kit aimed squarely at the FO17 owner who still drives the car, occasionally takes it to a track day, and refuses to ride a skateboard on the way to work.

For a 24V KL-ZE Probe with worn-out OEM dampers, this is the kit that resets the car’s geometry, controls the soft front-end dive the platform is known for, and gives you a stance you can actually live with on British B-roads.

What this coilover does for your 1993-1997 Ford Probe

Drop the ride height to clean up the arch gap the factory left behind, then use the 720-way damping adjustment to settle the car into a ride that doesn’t punish you over UK road scars. Body roll through faster sweepers tightens up noticeably, and turn-in sharpens because you’ve finally got dampers that can keep up with spring movement instead of lagging behind it. Front-end dive under braking – the Probe’s biggest dynamic weakness on a stock setup – is brought back under control, which means the nose stays planted when you’re trail-braking into a roundabout. Soften the damping for a long motorway run, firm it up for a Sunday on the Snake Pass, and the same kit handles both jobs.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s road-and-track kit and the most widely shipped product in the range, refined over years by their in-house engineering team and validated in international race programmes before being detuned for street use. The headline number is 720 ways of damping adjustment – granular enough that you can move one click at a time and actually feel the change, rather than the coarse 16- or 32-step ranges most budget coilovers offer. It’s built for the driver who wants real adjustability without committing to a stripped-out track car: comfort dialled in for daily use, stiffness available when you want it. Height is adjustable independently of spring preload, which matters on a kerb-weight-sensitive platform like the FO17.
