XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Peugeot 406 COUPE 1997-2004

The Peugeot 406 Coupe’s Pininfarina body disguises how much the car leans on its front axle – the 3.0 V6 sits well forward in the engine bay, and by the time most examples have covered 150,000 miles, original dampers no longer have the control to keep that weight settled under hard braking. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover addresses this directly.

Designed for fast-road and weekend track use rather than committed circuit work, the Super Sport resets the 406 Coupe’s geometry from the ground up. Lower the ride height to reduce the roll moment, set the 36-way damping to suit your roads, and the chassis Peugeot intended shows itself – a composed, long-legged GT with the multi-link rear working as it should.

What this coilover does for your 1997-2004 Peugeot 406 Coupe

Lowering the 406 Coupe from its standard ride height – generous even by 1990s French GT standards – brings an immediate reduction in body roll and a more direct connection to the road. The 36-way damping adjustment allows softer settings for everyday use, absorbing the surface variation that British roads produce, then firms up the rebound for trackday sessions without touching any other components. For the 3.0 V6 specifically, controlling front-end float under braking keeps the nose-heavy balance flat rather than pitching forward. On the rear multi-link, which suffers disproportionately on high-mileage 406 Coupes with worn OEM components, the Super Sport restores controlled articulation in place of the vague lateral movement that tired standard dampers allow.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road series, validated for both daily road use and weekend circuit work. The monotube construction separates oil and gas chambers, maintaining consistent damping response across repeated suspension events and reducing the harshness over broken surfaces that twin-tube designs can transmit. Ride height is adjustable at the spring perch, and the 36-way damping adjustment covers the range from absorbing rough tarmac on daily commutes to firmer settings for trackday use – meeting different road conditions without requiring separate setups. The series is built to remove the discomfort caused by road irregularities while retaining the adjustability that occasional racing demands.
