XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Honda CRV VI 2023-2026

The sixth-generation CR-V is a tall, two-tonne family SUV with soft factory damping tuned for school-run comfort – which is precisely why owners who actually corner it find the body roll, the late weight-transfer, and the lazy rebound on a B-road crest so frustrating. The Top Sport coilover is the kit that takes that brief seriously: lower the centre of gravity, firm up the platform, and give the VI the body control its chassis is otherwise capable of.

For a CR-V VI driven hard on UK roads – or taken to an occasional track day in 2WD or AWD trim – this is the spec that earns its keep without turning the car into a punishment on broken tarmac. It is the right pivot point between road manners and proper handling intent.

What this coilover does for your 2023-2026 Honda CRV VI

Drop the VI onto Top Sport hardware and the first thing you notice is the nose. The factory CR-V dives heavily under braking and pushes wide on turn-in; with damping settings stepped 30 to 50 percent firmer than street tune and spring rates lifted by around 2kg/mm, that wallow is gone. Turn-in is decisive, mid-corner camber holds, and the rear stays planted instead of going light over road imperfections. Adjustable ride height lets you choose a sensible road stance or a more aggressive track drop without rubbing the wide-section tyres a CR-V tends to wear. Damping adjustment gives you a softer setting for the motorway commute and a firmer click for a circuit session, all from the same kit.

About the Top Sport coilover

The Top Sport is XYZ Racing’s road-and-track spec, developed off the back of the company’s track programme. Compared with a street coilover, damping force is increased by 30 to 50 percent and spring rates are stepped up by roughly 2kg/mm – enough to suppress the body movement of a heavy SUV like the CR-V VI without making it brittle. The construction is built around absorbing impact rather than hammering through it: when the car hits a sharp ridge or a track kerb, the damper takes the hit, the body stays settled, and the tyre keeps loaded contact with the surface. Traction goes up, stability goes up, and the car feels of a piece rather than reacting one corner at a time. Every setting in the kit is taken from XYZ Racing’s own track-day and aggressive-driving programme, so the baseline tune is honest rather than a generic curve dropped into an SUV shell.
