XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Honda PRELUDE BB5/6/7/8 1996-2001

The fifth-generation Prelude is a chassis that rewards a driver who actually steers with the throttle. ATTS on the SH cars, a long bonnet over the H22A, double-wishbones at every corner – the BB6 was Honda’s quiet front-drive answer to a 200SX, and three decades on, its stock dampers are tired in ways no fresh top mount will fix. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover is the sensible reset: a kit built for road use and the occasional track day, with the adjustment range to suit the Prelude’s appetite for a firm, planted nose.

This is the workhorse in the XYZ catalogue, refined over years of development by their racing team and shaken down at circuits around the world. For a BB5/6/7/8 owner running a car that still does shopping runs and weekend B-road work, the Street Advanced sits in the right place on the spectrum – sharper than OEM, civil enough to live with.

What this coilover does for your 1996-2001 Honda Prelude Bb5/6/7/8

Ride height and damping become tools you actually use. The 720-way damping adjustment is the headline number – that’s a meaningful resolution between comfort-biased commuting and a firmer, flatter setting for a Cadwell or Castle Combe weekend. Body roll through the Prelude’s quicker direction changes tightens up; on the BB6 SH cars, ATTS feels less like it’s papering over a soft chassis and more like it’s working with one. Brake dive on the way into a fast corner – a known Prelude trait once the front struts age – gets pulled back into a usable range without the car turning into a cart. Daily driveability survives because the kit was designed around it.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular and most-developed coilover line, shaped by years of input from their professional team and validated at races worldwide. The brief is split-personality on purpose: normal road duty as the default, with enough range that a track day doesn’t ask too much of the kit. 720 damping settings cover the spread between a Bank Holiday cruise and a wet-track sighting lap, and the engineering pedigree behind it is the reason it keeps selling – XYZ have iterated this product through generations of race feedback rather than reinventing it every season. It’s the indispensable kit for drivers chasing speed and control without writing off the daily drive.
