XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Honda CRV IV 2012-2016

The fourth-generation CR-V is a tall, family-friendly crossover with soft factory damping tuned for school-run comfort, and that soft tune is exactly what punishes the chassis when you start pushing it. Body roll arrives early, the nose dives under braking, and the rear lifts on turn-in in a way that quietly scrubs front grip. The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover is built for the CR-V IV owner who wants to keep the practicality but stop the wallowing.

Top Sport is XYZ’s circuit-leaning street setup – firmer than the company’s road kits, softer than the full-race spec. On a 1.6-tonne crossover like the CR-V IV, that band is where the car actually wants to live if you’re driving it harder than Honda’s chassis engineers expected.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2016 Honda CRV IV

Spring rates roughly 2 kg/mm above street setting flatten the body, cut nose-dive under heavy braking, and stop the rear end pogoing on undulating B-roads. Damping force is increased by 30-50% over a street tune, so the car settles on rebound instead of running through three or four oscillations the way the OEM struts do. The result on the CR-V IV is a chassis that feels noticeably shorter and lower in your hands – turn-in is sharper, mid-corner attitude is steadier, and the front tyres actually load up rather than washing wide. Ride height is adjustable on the threaded body, so you can drop the stance for road use or run it higher for ride-quality and clearance on rougher tarmac.

About the Top Sport coilover

The Top Sport is the daily-driveable end of XYZ Racing’s circuit family – built around the same monotube architecture as the firmer Super Sport and Racing kits but valved for tarmac that isn’t always billiard-smooth. Damping is tuned to absorb sharp impacts and big compressions without transferring the jolt straight into the cabin, which means uneven UK B-roads don’t unsettle the chassis the way a one-piece coilover would. The valving and spring choice come directly out of XYZ’s Top Sport racing programme, then walked back to a rate that survives potholes, expansion joints, and the school run. Adjustable damping and ride height let you set a stiffer profile for a track day and back it off for the commute home. It is the coilover for an owner who wants aggressive driving on demand and a usable car the rest of the week.

Fitment for the Honda CRV IV (2012-2016)

This kit is built specifically for the fourth-generation Honda CR-V chassis spanning the 2012 to 2016 model years. It replaces the front struts and rear shock-and-spring units as a direct-fit assembly for the IV-generation platform.
