XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mazda PREMACY 1998-2003

The first-generation Mazda Premacy is the awkward outlier in any coilover catalogue – a tall, front-drive compact MPV on the CP platform, sharing DNA with the 323F but carrying an extra row of seats and the centre of gravity that goes with it. That’s exactly the chassis that benefits most from a properly engineered coilover, because the factory dampers were tuned for soft family-car compliance and give up long before the front tyres do.

Fitting the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover to a Premacy is about clawing back composure: less body roll through roundabouts, a flatter platform under braking, and a ride height the owner actually chooses rather than the one Hiroshima signed off for the school run in 1999.

What this coilover does for your 1998-2003 Mazda Premacy

On the MA28 Premacy, the Super Sport’s biggest contribution is body control. The tall greenhouse and high seating position mean lateral load transfer is what you feel first, and a monotube damper with 30-way bump and rebound adjustment lets you firm up the rebound stroke that’s doing most of the work when the body rolls back to level. Ride height is adjustable independently of spring preload, so you can drop the Premacy out of its high-rider stance without binding the springs or running out of usable damper travel. Pillow-ball top mounts at the front replace the soft rubber bushings the factory used to mask NVH, sharpening turn-in response that the original setup deliberately blunted. The pay-off is a Premacy that tracks straight at motorway speeds, sits flat through a B-road, and stops nose-diving every time you brush the brake pedal.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road and occasional-trackday damper – built around a 52mm monotube body with a single internal piston, large-diameter shaft, and high-flow valving designed to keep oil cool under sustained work. Damping is set with a single 30-click adjuster that changes bump and rebound together, which keeps the tuning logic simple for an owner who isn’t running a corner-balance scales setup. Spring rates are matched to the chassis weight and intended use, mounted on threaded sleeves so ride height and spring preload are independent adjustments rather than the compromise you get on cheaper budget kits. Camber-adjustable pillow-ball tops are fitted where the strut design permits, and the assembled units are dyno-tested before they leave the factory. Service rebuild parts are available through the dealer network, which matters on a 25-year-old platform.

Fitment for the Mazda PREMACY (1998-2003)

SKU XYZ-COIL-MA28-SS is the matched front-and-rear kit specific to this chassis – front struts and rear shocks with springs and hardware in one part number. Confirm your VIN-plate model code reads MA28 before ordering; later post-2005 Premacy variants are a different platform entirely.
