XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Honda CITY GM2/GM3 2007-2013

The GM2/GM3 City was Honda’s global-market saloon built on a stretched Jazz floorpan, and that lineage tells you everything about why it responds so well to a proper coilover. Light kerb weight, a torsion-beam rear, and a softly-sprung factory setup mean the chassis has plenty of latent agility waiting to be unlocked once the body roll and squat are taken out of the equation. The Racing Spec is the most aggressive damper XYZ Racing builds for this platform, drawing settings developed through direct participation in WTCC and similar series.

This is not a fast-road coilover with a track-mode label glued on. It is built for serious track and time-attack work in a GM2/GM3 City, where consistent damping under repeated heat cycles and a stiff enough platform to load the front tyres on turn-in matter more than ride comfort on a B-road.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2013 Honda CITY GM2/GM3

On a stock GM2/GM3 the front pitches forward under braking and the rear lifts enough to upset the line into a tight apex. The Racing Spec eliminates that pitch axis, planting the front tyres so you can trail-brake deeper without the nose washing wide. Height adjustment lets you drop the centre of gravity to dial out the saloon-spec ride height, and the damping range gives you the room to run higher spring rates without the car becoming skittish over kerbs. For a 1.5-litre front-driver this is the difference between a quick road car and one that holds a repeatable lap time across a 20-minute session.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s track-focused damper, with the valving and spring settings drawn directly from their racing programme – including data fed back from WTCC participation. Construction is built around the abuse of repeated lap work: sustained heat, kerb impacts, and the load cycles a competition surface puts through a damper that a fast-road kit is never asked to survive. The factory spec covers the majority of GM2/GM3 builds, but where a car has been pushed further – aggressive aero, swapped engines, A-class race builds – XYZ Racing will produce custom-valved shocks against the buyer’s specific upgrade list and intended circuit. That bespoke route is the same one their factory racing vehicles take.

Fitment for the Honda CITY GM2/GM3 (2007-2013)

This kit is engineered specifically for the GM2 and GM3 generation of the Honda City, covering production years 2007 through 2013 on the HN26 chassis. Check your registration document against the GM2/GM3 designation before ordering, as City generations either side of this window use different strut geometry.
