XYZ Racing Circuit Master Coilovers — Subaru IMPREZA GE/GH/GR/GB (TYPE 2) 2WD/4WD 2007-2014

The third-generation Impreza landed softer than the GD it replaced. Subaru chased everyday ride comfort and left this chassis rolling more than its boxer-and-AWD hardware deserves, which is the first thing a track-day driver wants gone. The XYZ Racing Circuit Master coilover for the Subaru Impreza GE/GH/GR/GB (TYPE 2) 2WD/4WD is built for that exact job: taking a deliberately compliant road car and giving it the body control to hold a line through a full circuit session.

This generation brought a double-wishbone rear and the familiar low-mounted flat-four, so the bones are good – the limitation has always been damping and roll, not layout. The Circuit Master is aimed at sustained lap-time work rather than a one-lap hero run, which is the right brief for an EJ-powered Impreza being driven hard across a 20-minute session.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2014 Subaru Impreza

Drop the ride height and the boxer’s low centre of gravity finally counts for something, flattening the cornering attitude that the standard car never controlled. The firmer, height-adjustable platform sharpens turn-in and keeps the contact patch settled under braking, so a 2WD car stops squirming on entry and a 4WD car puts its symmetrical drive down cleaner on exit. With 9720 increments of adjustment across the three knobs, you can run a compliant set-up for the road and wind in more support for a track day without swapping parts. The result is a car that stays composed when the standard dampers would have long since given up.

About the Circuit Master coilover

The Circuit Master sits in XYZ Racing’s competition tier alongside their Racing Spec, Drift Spec and Tarmac Rally kits, and it has been run and developed by XYZ racing teams on international circuits rather than signed off on a test rig. The headline is that 9720-way range of adjustment, delivered through a three-knob design that separates the damping circuits for proper tuning latitude. Those knobs use a small oil-hole passage: over big hits the oil is forced through a tight path and can produce a faint noise, which is normal behaviour and not a fault. That trade-off is deliberate, because this kit is engineered for the relatively smooth surface of a race track rather than broken B-roads, and on circuit there is nothing for it to thump over.
