XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Mazda PREMACY 1998-2003

The first-generation Mazda Premacy was built as a compact MPV with family-car priorities – soft springs, generous body roll, and a damper tune that favoured kerb comfort over corner exit. The Racing Spec coilover takes the opposite view of the chassis: tighter primary control, a lower ride height, and the kind of damping authority the standard struts never had.

This is the track-leaning kit in the XYZ catalogue, aimed at owners who have moved a Premacy well beyond its school-run brief and want the body kept flat through quick direction changes. Pair it with a stiffer anti-roll bar and the platform finally drives smaller than its footprint.

What this coilover does for your 1998-2003 Mazda Premacy

Ride height comes down across both axles, which drops the centre of gravity and pulls the bodyshell closer to the geometry the chassis engineers actually wanted before packaging pushed it up. Independent ride-height adjustment means corner-weighting is on the table once you have access to scales. The 30-way damping range covers enough territory to run a firm circuit setting at the weekend and back the clicks off for the road home. Spring rates sit at the upper end of XYZ’s range for this platform, so expect a measurable reduction in dive under braking and squat under load – both areas where the standard Premacy gives away the most lap time. Camber plates at the front let you recover negative camber that a lowered Premacy otherwise loses, which keeps tyre contact honest in sustained cornering.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec sits at the firmer, more track-focused end of XYZ Racing’s road-and-circuit ladder. Construction is monotube with a piston design that prioritises consistency under heat soak rather than long-stroke comfort. Damping is adjustable across 30 clicks on a single knob that influences both bump and rebound, which keeps tuning practical without a dyno. The kit is supplied with helper springs to maintain spring preload through the full droop range, and the spring platforms thread independently of the lower mount so ride height and preload are decoupled. It is built around hard-use circuit duty first, with road manners as a secondary consideration.

Fitment for the Mazda PREMACY (1998-2003)

This kit is fitted to the MA28-chassis Mazda Premacy across the full 1998 to 2003 production run of the first-generation car. Mounting points, strut lengths, and top-mount geometry are specific to this chassis – it is not a shared fit with the later CR or CW Premacy.
