XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda CIVIC EK SINGLE CAM 1996-2000

The EK Civic rewards a setup that respects its short wheelbase and 1,050kg kerb weight rather than trying to bully it. Drop spring rates in too hard and the car skates over mid-corner bumps; leave the damping too soft and you get the classic EK nose-dive under braking that owners have been chasing fixes for since these cars were new. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover sits squarely in the middle of that conversation.

Built for fast-road driving with the headroom for weekend track use, this is the kit for an EK that gets driven to the circuit on a Sunday morning and back to work on Monday. The 36-way damping range gives genuine adjustability for both jobs, not a token click or two either side of a fixed valve.

What this coilover does for your 1996-2000 Honda Civic EK Single CAM

Drop the EK 30-50mm on these and the front-end response sharpens immediately – that’s the benefit of taking the slop out of OEM bushings and pairing reduced ride height with damping you can actually tune. Turn-in becomes deliberate, and the car finally stops washing wide on faster B-road sweepers where the standard suspension runs out of control. Under braking, the 36-way compression and rebound settings let you take out the dive without locking the chassis into something punishing over town-centre potholes. On a track day, wind the damping firmer; on the drive home, back it off and the kit lives with broken UK tarmac rather than fighting it. Adjustable ride height also means you can corner-balance the car properly, which on a 1.0-tonne hatch makes a measurable difference to weight transfer.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road platform with proper track capability built in. Construction is engineered around eliminating the harshness that cheap height-adjustable kits inflict on cars driven on real roads – the damper internals are tuned so that bumps and rough surface transitions are absorbed rather than transmitted into the cabin. The 36-way damping adjustment is the headline spec, and it’s a genuine 36 detents of usable range rather than marketing arithmetic. Ride height adjusts independently of spring preload, so corner weights can be set without sacrificing damper stroke. The kit is designed to be configured for the road one weekend and the circuit the next without swapping parts.
