XYZ Racing Circuit Master Coilovers — Mazda PREMACY 1998-2003

The Mazda Premacy is an unusual candidate for a Circuit Master coilover, and that is precisely the point. This is a tall, front-driven compact MPV on a Familia-derived floorpan, and the factory suspension was tuned for school-run compliance rather than throttle-on cornering. The Circuit Master is the spec that turns the MA28 platform into something that holds a line.

Built on a 32-step damping monotube with pillowball top mounts and ride-height adjustment independent of preload, this is the XYZ kit aimed at owners running their Premacy on circuit or on hard B-road stints – not the soft fast-road option, and not the stripped-out track-only one either.

What this coilover does for your 1998-2003 Mazda Premacy

The first thing you feel after fitting the Circuit Master is the body motion disappearing. A standard Premacy rolls heavily on turn-in because of its tall centre of gravity, and the factory dampers run out of travel quickly under load. The 32-way bump-and-rebound adjustment lets you stiffen the platform enough to keep the body flat through quick direction changes without making the car skittish over UK B-road surface changes. Pillowball top mounts give you back the steering precision that rubber top mounts on a 25-year-old MPV have long since lost. Ride height is set on a separate spanner from spring preload, so you can drop the car for stance and corner balance without coil-binding the spring or running out of shock stroke.

About the Circuit Master coilover

The Circuit Master sits in the middle of XYZ Racing’s competition range. Each damper is a monotube design with 32 clicks of combined bump and rebound from a single adjuster, set against linear-rate springs chosen for circuit work rather than ride comfort. Damping valving is shimmed in-house and matched to the spring rate, which is why the Circuit Master is sold as a fixed-rate kit per chassis rather than a generic universal damper. Ride height is adjusted at the lower mount, separately from spring preload, which preserves full shock stroke regardless of how low you set the car. Front struts run pillowball top mounts for steering feel; rears use the spec appropriate to the MA28’s rear geometry.

Fitment for the Mazda PREMACY (1998-2003)
