XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Nissan MAXIMA A35 2008-2014

The A35 Maxima’s VQ35DE V6 has the kind of character that makes the standard suspension feel like the weak link – a large FWD saloon with a willing six-cylinder and a substantial kerb weight loads the front axle hard, and the factory calibration prioritises comfort over the sharper edge the engine invites you to explore. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover brings the A35’s suspension architecture into alignment with its drivetrain, adding ride height control and 36-way damping adjustment to a platform that benefits from both.

The Super Sport sits at the fast-road and weekend track end of the XYZ line-up – the middle ground between Nissan’s comfort-biased standard setup and something stripped back for circuit use only.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2014 Nissan MAXIMA A35

Running a large, front-heavy FWD saloon harder than Nissan intended puts a specific set of demands on suspension: the front tyres are managing both traction and direction simultaneously, body roll transfers weight away from the loaded corner, and the stock setup offers no meaningful way to alter the balance. The Super Sport’s 36-way damping range lets you soften the setup for daily comfort on imperfect UK roads, then firm it progressively for the track day or spirited B-road run without a full re-set of hardware. Lowering the ride height through the threaded collar system brings the A35’s centre of gravity down, reducing the side-to-side mass transfer that blunts front-end precision in longer corners. The result is a car that uses more of its grip, more consistently, without punishing the driver on the commute back.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s specification for drivers who want genuine adjustment range rather than a fixed medium-stiffness compromise. The 36-way damping adjustment runs from a compliant road setting through to a firmer track calibration across the same hardware – no swap-out required. Ride height is set independently via the threaded body, keeping spring preload and damper function separate so you can lower the car without degrading ride quality further than intended. XYZ engineers the Super Sport for the use case where a car sees mixed duty: the Monday morning commute, the weekend moorland run, the occasional trackday in the dry. The construction specification is built to handle the heat cycling that repeated spirited use generates, maintaining consistent damper response rather than fading through an afternoon’s driving.

Fitment for the Nissan MAXIMA A35 (2008-2014)

This kit is built for the Nissan Maxima A35 chassis across the 2008-2014 production run. The A35 runs MacPherson strut geometry at the front and a multi-link arrangement at the rear; the Super Sport coilover replaces both axles as a complete set. Confirm your build year before ordering – it is worth verifying your car falls within the 2008-2014 window.
