XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Peugeot 508 / 508 SW (NON GT) 2012-2016

The first-generation 508’s PF2 platform was engineered for long-distance comfort rather than dynamic precision – a reasonable priority for a large front-wheel-drive saloon or estate, but one that leaves the suspension notably soft for spirited fast-road use. GT-trim cars received lowered, firmer springs from the factory; NON GT models didn’t, and on the standard setup the 508’s considerable body weight makes itself felt through faster corners and under repeated braking.

Fitting the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover to your Peugeot 508 or 508 SW addresses that directly. With 36-way damping adjustment and full ride-height control, you can bring the platform into a proper fast-road stance without committing to a permanently stiff ride.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2016 Peugeot 508 / 508 SW (NON GT)

Dropping the ride height reduces the 508’s centre of gravity and cuts the body roll that becomes most apparent mid-corner in the estate body – the SW’s additional length amplifying pitch and squat under load. The 36-way damping range spans from a setting compliant enough to absorb rough urban roads without discomfort through to a firm fast-road configuration, so the same hardware can cover the commute and the weekend run. For owners of diesel variants, where the front-heavy weight distribution already biases the car towards understeer, the ability to tune front and rear damping independently offers a meaningful way to rebalance the chassis without converting to a track-only setup.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s coilover range for fast-road and weekend track use, built around fully adjustable ride height at each corner. The standout specification is 36-way damping adjustment, which gives a broad enough range to handle genuinely different use cases – harsh urban roads at one end, composed cross-country running at the other – without requiring a component swap between sessions. The system was developed to serve daily use alongside weekend performance work, which in practice means you set the ride height once and adjust damping to conditions rather than living with a fixed compromise. That flexibility matters for a practical four-door or estate where the owner is rarely doing just one thing with the car.

Fitment for the Peugeot 508 / 508 SW (NON GT) (2012-2016)

This kit is developed for the first-generation Peugeot 508 saloon and 508 SW estate on chassis code PE15, covering the 2012 to 2016 model years, and is specified for NON GT trim levels only. The GT variant used a different factory suspension configuration with distinct spring and damper rates; if you’re uncertain of your trim level, check your V5C or the original order specification before ordering.
