XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda CIVIC TOURER FK3 2013-2017

The FK3 Civic Tourer is the awkward middle child of the ninth-gen Civic family – longer wheelbase than the hatch, a load bay that shifts weight rearward when you actually use it, and a softly sprung factory setup that prioritises load lugging over corner balance. The Super Sport coilover is the right answer for FK3 owners who want the estate to handle like the hatch should have from the factory, without binning the comfort that makes it a usable family car on a Monday morning.

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport sits in the sweet zone for a fast-road FK3 with the occasional Sunday at Bedford or Cadwell. 36-way damping adjustment, full ride-height adjustability, and a damper tuned to absorb the kind of broken B-road surfaces the Tourer actually lives on.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2017 Honda Civic Tourer

Drop the FK3 onto Super Sports and the first thing you notice is the body control – the wallow under load through fast direction changes is gone, replaced by a chassis that settles after the initial input rather than continuing to argue with itself. The 36-way damping range matters here because the Tourer is heavier and longer than the hatch; the same spring rate that feels right empty needs more rebound control when the boot is loaded, and the click range gives you both ends of that compromise.

Ride height adjustment lets you bring the rear arch gap in line with the front without resorting to spring-only kits that ruin the geometry. Turn-in sharpens, brake stability through trail-braking improves, and motorway composure stays civilised because the damper was built to handle bump compliance rather than just clamp the spring flat.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s road-and-occasional-track damper, sitting one rung above the entry Sport Spec in the range. It uses a 36-way adjustment knob at the top of each damper that simultaneously alters bump and rebound, so spec changes happen in seconds without crawling under the car. The damper internals are tuned to soak up surface imperfections rather than transmit them – the brief from XYZ Racing was specifically to eliminate the harshness that cheaper coilovers introduce on rough roads.

Construction is full ride-height-adjustable via the lower mount rather than spring-perch only, which preserves shock-body travel and stops you running out of bump stop on a kerb strike. The result is a single damper that swaps between weekend track duty and daily-driver commuting without needing two sets of clicks memorised – the use case XYZ Racing built the Super Sport range around.

Fitment for the Honda Civic Tourer (2013-2017)

This kit fits the FK3 Civic Tourer estate, model years 2013 through 2017, across the European-market diesel and petrol drivetrain options. Chassis code FK3 covers the five-door estate body only – the FK2 hatch and FK1 hatch use different platforms and need their own kits.
