XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Honda CL YA4 2001-2003

The Honda CL YA4 sits in an awkward spot for suspension upgrades. It’s the Accord-derived coupe Honda sold into a market that mostly forgot it, riding on a softly-sprung double-wishbone setup tuned for executive comfort rather than the chassis composure the platform is genuinely capable of. Owners keeping a YA4 on UK roads in 2026 are doing so deliberately, and the factory dampers – if they’re even still original – have long given up.

The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover is the right pick here because it’s built for exactly this use case: a road car that gets driven hard occasionally, where ride quality on broken B-roads matters as much as the way the car loads up through a fast sweeper.

What this coilover does for your 2001-2003 Honda CL YA4

Drop a Street Advanced kit into a YA4 and the first thing that changes is body control. The factory roll under load gives way to flatter cornering attitude, and the front end – always the weak point on this nose-led chassis – stops washing wide when you commit mid-corner. With 720 damping positions on tap, you can run a softer setting for the daily commute and step it up two or three clicks for a Sunday blast without ever lifting a spanner. Height adjustment lets you set ride attitude properly rather than living with the YA4’s slightly cab-forward factory rake. The springs and damping curves are matched, so the car settles after a bump rather than skipping across mid-corner cat’s-eyes.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ’s longest-running and most-shipped product line, refined over years by their in-house race team and signed off after testing in international race series. The 720-way damping adjustment is the headline number – one knob, accessible at the top of each strut, that simultaneously controls bump and rebound across a wide adjustment band. The kit is engineered specifically for road use and occasional track work, which is a different brief from a circuit-focused coilover. Ride height adjusts independently of spring preload, so you can corner-weight the car or just set a stance without losing usable damper travel. Construction is the standard XYZ recipe: pillow-ball top mounts where the chassis allows, hardened piston rods, and spring rates chosen to suit the YA4’s kerb weight rather than dropped in from a generic Honda kit.

Fitment for the Honda CL YA4 (2001-2003)

This kit is built specifically for the YA4 chassis CL produced between 2001 and 2003. Fronts use the Accord-family strut layout; rears match the original multilink geometry. Confirm your chassis code reads YA4 on the VIN plate before ordering, as the earlier and later Accord variants use different mounting hardware.
