XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda CRV III 2007-2012

The Honda CRV III is a tall, soft-sprung family SUV with a high centre of gravity and a chassis tuned almost entirely for ride comfort on a school run. That same setup turns body roll into the dominant sensation on a B-road, and the standard dampers run out of control long before the tyres do. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover replaces that compromise with a height-adjustable, 36-way damper-tuned platform that finally lets the RE-series CRV sit, steer and settle like a car instead of a wardrobe on stilts.

For owners who use the CRV as a daily that occasionally sees a fast road or a weekend track session, this is the sensible pick from the XYZ range. It is built around the same hardware the Top Sport uses, but valved softer and aimed squarely at street duty with a track-day ceiling.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2012 Honda CRV III

Drop the ride height and the visual transformation is obvious, but the real gain is in how the CRV III carries its mass. With 36-way damping on tap, you can run the rebound firm enough to kill the secondary body motions that make the stock car feel seasick on undulating tarmac, then back the setting off for motorway work. Turn-in sharpens because the front no longer dives onto the bump-stops under braking, and mid-corner load transfer becomes predictable rather than a slow lean you wait out. Repeat-stop braking from speed is calmer too – the nose stops pitching and the rear stays planted, which matters on a 1,600 kg-plus crossover. Tyre wear evens out once the geometry is set with the platform lowered and the dampers controlling the springs properly.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ’s fast-road damper with a serious track-capable specification underneath. It runs full ride-height adjustment via threaded lower mounts and 36-way bump-and-rebound adjustment on a single combined knob, so one click changes the damper’s character without having to split bump from rebound. XYZ specifically engineer the Super Sport to soak up rough surfaces – broken UK B-roads, expansion joints, mid-corner bumps – which is the failure point of cheaper coilovers that crash through compression. The valving has been developed for cars used hard at weekends and driven home Monday morning, so the same set works for a Cadwell trackday and the commute that follows. It is the right answer when a fully-stripped circuit damper is overkill but the OE setup has nothing left to give.

Fitment for the Honda CRV III (2007-2012)

This kit is built for the third-generation Honda CRV, chassis code III, covering model years 2007 to 2012. Confirm your registration date falls inside that span before ordering – the late RE-series facelift and the following RM-generation use different mounting hardware. PCD, strut top and rear damper geometry are all matched to the CRV III specifically.
