XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mazda MX-5 MIATA / ROADSTER 1998-2005

The NB MX-5 rewards a chassis that resists body roll without numbing the throttle-on rotation that makes this car what it is. The factory dampers were tuned for daily comfort over a long service life, which means by 2026 most surviving NBs are rolling on shocks that have given up on mid-corner control and pitch under braking. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Mazda MX-5 1998-2005 is the fast-road kit that sharpens the NB without flattening the playful tail that defines it.

This is the spec to fit if your NB sees B-road weekends, the odd track day, and a daily commute in between. It is the broad-bandwidth choice in the XYZ range – firmer than OE, softer than the Circuit Master, and adjustable enough to grow with the build.

What this coilover does for your 1998-2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata / Roadster

Fitted to an NB, the Super Sport flattens cornering attitude and brings the front axle into clearer dialogue with the steering rack – you feel the front contact patch load up rather than guess at it. The 30-step damping range is wide enough that the soft end of the scale is genuinely usable for motorway miles, and the firm end has the body control to hold a kerb-strike at Cadwell without the rear stepping unexpectedly. Adjustable ride height lets you drop the NB to a stance that suits 15- or 16-inch wheels without scrubbing arches at full lock. Spring pre-load is independent from ride height, so corner-weighting the car after a session is a job you can do in an afternoon. For a chassis this light, the gains in turn-in confidence are immediate.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s fast-road tier. Construction is a full-bodied monotube damper with 30 clicks of combined compression and rebound adjustment on a single knob – a sensible compromise for an owner who wants to tune by feel rather than juggle two separate ranges. Ride-height adjustment is via the lower mount, which means spring length and pre-load stay constant when you raise or drop the car. Camber plates are included on platforms where strut geometry allows. The spring rates supplied are matched to the platform weight and chosen to lean fast-road rather than circuit, with the headroom to firm up for occasional track use through the damping range alone.
