XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Nissan NOTE E12 2012-2026

The E12 Note arrived in 2012 with a suspension tune calibrated squarely around cushioning – sensible for a family supermini, less so for anyone who found that the DIG-S’s supercharged 1.2 has enough immediacy to expose the car’s soft-sprung, high-rolling body. Factory roll rates and a pliant torsion beam rear give the Note a relaxed cornering character that suits urban traffic and little else. Fit the XYZ Racing Super Sport and the Note becomes a different proposition.

These coilovers bring adjustable ride height and 36-way damping adjustment to the E12 platform across the full 2012-2026 model run – a specification that allows proper calibration for fast-road use without turning the supermini into something unliveable between weekend outings.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2026 Nissan NOTE E12

The E12’s light kerbweight – around 1,050-1,100 kg depending on trim – means even moderate spring rate changes deliver a marked improvement in body control. The Super Sport reins in the nose dive that makes the stock Note feel vague under braking, and tightens the torsion beam rear so it tracks consistently rather than floating loose over mid-corner bumps. The 36-way damping adjustment is where the flexibility lives: softer settings keep the ride civil on the broken tarmac the Note regularly navigates; stiffer settings let the chassis communicate properly when you are pushing through A-roads or attending a track day. Height adjustment closes the arch gap without sacrificing the ground clearance the Note needs when speed bumps are a daily obstacle.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport occupies the practical middle ground between a comfort-biased OEM replacement and a dedicated competition setup. Its 36-way damping range spans genuine daily use at one end and fast-road or light circuit work at the other – the specific use cases it was developed for, not a post-hoc marketing addition. Height adjustment is continuous across the spring perch, giving you a consistent stance without affecting the damper’s operating range. The damper calibration targets the two characteristics that define the stock E12 ride: excessive body movement over undulating roads and a lack of confidence in fast transitions. Both stem from the factory tuning prioritising compliance above composure, and the Super Sport corrects that balance while remaining usable in the day-to-day environments the Note inhabits most of the time.

Fitment for the Nissan NOTE E12 (2012-2026)

This kit is built for the E12 chassis code, covering Nissan Note production from 2012 through to 2026. The E12 runs MacPherson strut front suspension and a torsion beam rear axle – both ends are addressed by this kit. Confirm your trim specification and front strut configuration aligns with the supplied fitment data before ordering.
