XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Honda ELYSION RR1 2004-2013

The Elysion RR1 is a 1.8-tonne front-drive MPV riding on a tall body and a soft factory damper tune set up for school-run comfort – which is exactly why owners who actually drive these things keep hunting for a coilover that respects the platform’s mass without turning it into a wallowing barge on a B-road. The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover is built around that brief: a height-and-damping-adjustable kit with spring rates stepped up around 2kg/mm over street settings and damping force lifted 30 to 50%, giving the RR1 the body control it has always needed when loaded with three rows of passengers.

This is the Top Sport line, drawn from XYZ Racing’s track-day programme, then re-rated for a daily-driven Honda people-mover that still has to swallow speed humps and Tesco car parks. The chassis stops floating on motorway crests, the nose stops diving on turn-in, and the rear axle stops the secondary-bounce shimmy that plagues stock RR1s once the dampers are past 80,000 miles.

What this coilover does for your 2004-2013 Honda Elysion RR1

After fitting, the RR1 feels around 30mm lower in your chosen stance and noticeably tied-down through faster sweepers – the kind of corner where the stock car heels over and the inside-rear wheel goes light. The firmer spring rate suppresses pitch when you load the brakes from motorway speed with a full cabin, and the uprated damping keeps the tyres in better contact with broken tarmac. Step-by-step height adjustment lets you sit the Elysion at a usable road ride height rather than the slammed look that compromises the long wheelbase, and the damping knob gives you a softer setting for long urban commutes and a firmer one for weekend driving. Worn-bushing slack disappears, the steering rack feels properly connected, and the body stops translating every expansion joint into a bobble through the third row.

About the Top Sport coilover

The Top Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s road-and-occasional-track bracket, drawing damper valving and spring choices directly from XYZ’s circuit programme and then dialling them back for daily use. Damping force is set roughly 30 to 50 percent above street-spec to absorb the kind of mid-corner impact that unsettles a long-wheelbase chassis, while spring rates are typically lifted around 2kg/mm to suppress body movement and keep the tyre’s contact patch loaded when the surface goes sharp-edged. The brief is straightforward: control the body, raise the tyre’s traction ceiling, and keep the car composed when you cross a big bump mid-corner instead of letting the shock spread through the shell. All settings are pulled from XYZ Racing’s Top Sport track-day experience, which is why this is the kit that suits both aggressive driving and a properly sorted street setup.
