XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda TL UA6-UA7 2004-2008

The fourth-gen Acura/Honda TL sold UK enthusiasts a near-300bhp J-series V6 wrapped in a saloon that, from the factory, was set up to insulate rather than involve. Soft secondary ride, lazy roll centres, and a front-loaded weight bias that pushes the nose wide the moment you ask the chassis a real question – that is the UA6/UA7 brief out of the box, and it is exactly what the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover is built to rewrite.

Drop the ride height, take the slack out of the body, give the damper 36 clicks of authority, and the TL stops feeling like a US-market luxury sedan and starts behaving like the front-drive V6 sports saloon Honda’s engineers clearly had in their notebooks. This is the Super Sport’s brief: fast-road sharpness during the week, composure when you take it to a weekend track day.

What this coilover does for your 2004-2008 Honda TL UA6-UA7

You feel the front end first. With the soft factory springs gone and 36-way damping in your hand, mid-corner push on a fast B-road eases off because the front tyre is now staying loaded instead of skating off its contact patch. Turn-in is crisper, the body settles faster after a kerb strike, and the TL’s J-series mass over the front axle stops dictating where the nose goes.

Drop the height to take the wheel-arch gap out of the equation and the visual change is honest – this is a 4.8-metre saloon that needs to sit properly to look right. On a weekend trackday the damping holds shape under repeat hard braking from triple figures, so the chassis is still talking to you on lap eight, not flopping about on bump-stops. Run it softer Monday morning and the ride is firm but not punishing, which is the point of a 36-step adjuster rather than a fixed-rate kit.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s road-and-track damper – the kit aimed at owners who want a real coilover, not a lowering compromise, but who are not building a dedicated circuit car. Construction is full-coilover with adjustable ride height and 36 individual damping positions on each corner, addressed through a single click adjuster that handles bump and rebound together. That is the central design idea: one knob, 36 settings, repeatable.

The chassis brief from the factory is the bit XYZ has set out to fix. The vendor’s own engineering note is blunt – the Super Sport damper is built to eliminate discomfort from bumps and rough surfaces while still letting the car be reset for harder driving. In practice that means you get a baseline you can live with on a Monday commute, then wind the dampers up for a Sunday at Cadwell or a fast run down a Welsh B-road, without changing parts.

Fitment for the Honda TL UA6-UA7 (2004-2008)

This kit is mapped specifically to the UA6 and UA7 chassis-coded TL built between 2004 and 2008 – the J32A3 and J35A8 V6 cars and their Type-S sibling. All four corners are included; ride-height adjustment is built into the lower bracket on the front struts and via spring perch at the rear.
