XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Honda TL UA4-UA5 1999-2003

The UA4/UA5 Honda TL sits in an awkward spot for anyone trying to sharpen it up: a heavy, front-driven executive saloon with soft factory damping tuned for American freeways, riding on a chassis that’s actually capable of far more than Honda ever asked of it. The Street Advanced coilover targets exactly that gap – taking a car designed to isolate the driver and giving it back the body control the J-series V6 deserves.

For a 1999-2003 TL running daily with occasional spirited B-road or trackday work, this is the XYZ Racing kit pitched at owners who refuse to choose between ride quality and proper handling. It’s the everyday end of the XYZ range, with damping logic that copes with broken UK tarmac as readily as a smooth circuit.

What this coilover does for your 1999-2003 Honda TL UA4-UA5

Drop a UA4/UA5 onto the Street Advanced and the first thing you notice is the nose. The factory TL pushes wide and wallows under load; ride height comes down, the front-end roll couple tightens, and the car finally turns in like the chassis underneath it always could. Mid-corner the 720-way damping holds the outside front tyre planted instead of letting it skate, which is the single biggest dynamic complaint owners level at the stock setup.

Out of corners the rear settles cleanly rather than pogo-ing over expansion joints – a real-world gain on the cratered surfaces most UK TLs actually live with. With 720 click positions across the range you can run a softer setting for the daily commute and stiffen up for trackday weekends without touching anything but the damper knobs. Stance falls into place as a by-product of the height range, not as the point of the kit.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s longest-running and best-selling platform, developed over years by the XYZ engineering team and refined through their worldwide race programme before being detuned for road use. The brief is specific: a coilover engineered for normal road driving and occasional trackday duty, not a circuit-only kit forced to behave on the street.

The headline number is 720 damping adjustment positions, giving genuinely fine-grained control over compression and rebound behaviour rather than the four or five steps you’ll find on cheaper kits. Construction follows XYZ’s standard practice with height adjustment that’s independent of preload, so you can corner-balance the TL without sacrificing damper travel. It’s positioned as essential kit for drivers who want speed and control without giving up the daily-driver manners the TL was bought for.

Fitment for the Honda TL (1999-2003)

This kit is built specifically for the UA4 and UA5 chassis codes covering the 1999-2003 third-generation Acura/Honda TL, including the four-cylinder UA4 and J32 V6 UA5 variants. Verify your chassis code from the VIN or under-bonnet plate before ordering, particularly if your TL has previously had non-OEM suspension components fitted.
