XYZ Racing Circuit Master Coilovers — Lexus ES (XV60) (80mm center-to-center) 2012-2018

The XV60-generation ES carries its V6 well forward of the front axle, and on the standard comfort-tuned suspension that weight rolls hard into the nose under trail-braking. XYZ Racing’s Circuit Master coilover kit for the 2012-2018 Lexus ES (XV60) exists to correct that front-end wallow without turning the car into something that fights you on the way to the paddock.

For owners running an ES as a time-attack build or a track-day oddball against a field of hot hatches and coupes, sustained lap-time work exposes exactly what the factory dampers can’t do: hold a consistent front contact patch through repeated heat cycles. This kit is built for that specific demand, not for a fast Tuesday commute.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2018 Lexus ES

Fitting the Circuit Master to the XV60 tightens the body control that the factory’s soft, comfort-biased spring rates were never designed to provide once you’re stringing corners together at pace. With 9720 damping combinations split across the kit’s three external knobs, you can separate compression from rebound instead of accepting one compromise setting for the whole lap – stiffen the front to fight that nose-heavy trail-braking dive, then back off rebound at the rear so the car still settles over kerbs instead of skating across them. Ride height adjustment lets you set the front and rear rake yourself, dropping the centre of gravity and sharpening turn-in on a platform that was tuned for isolation, not response. The result is an ES that changes direction like the chassis underneath it can actually support, rather than one still wearing its motorway-comfort spring rates.

About the Circuit Master coilover

Circuit Master sits at the top of XYZ Racing’s competition-oriented range, alongside kits built specifically for drift and tarmac rally use, and it’s the version developed and validated by XYZ’s own racing teams across circuits internationally. The headline figure is 9720 possible damping combinations, delivered through three external adjustment knobs that let you tune compression and rebound independently rather than sharing one dial across both. That breadth of adjustment is aimed at drivers chasing a specific balance for a specific circuit, not at someone who sets it once and forgets it. The trade-off of routing oil through the smaller passages needed for that adjustment resolution is a bit of extra noise over sharp bumps and kerbs – that’s the design working as intended on a kit built for circuit surfaces, not a fault to worry about. For a car as heavy and nose-biased as the ES, that range of adjustment matters more than it would on a lighter, more neutral chassis.

Fitment for the Lexus ES (XV60) (2012-2018)

This kit is specced for the Lexus ES (XV60) across the 2012-2018 model run, built around the 80mm centre-to-centre mounting dimension for this generation. Confirm your ES sits within that chassis code and year range before ordering, since XV60-specific hardware won’t carry across to earlier or later ES generations.
