XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Peugeot 301 2012-2026

Launch a front-wheel-drive Peugeot 301 hard and the problem shows itself in the first metre: weight pitches rearward off the line, the driven front tyres go light, and the tachometer climbs faster than the car does. The XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover for the Peugeot 301 is built to fight exactly that, controlling how the PE22 chassis loads and unloads its corners during a standing start.

This is not a fast-road or circuit setup. It is a 0-400 metre tool, sprung and valved to plant the front contact patches when the lights go green and keep the 301 tracking straight through the traps.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2026 Peugeot 301

On a standing-start run, the launch-biased setting shifts load toward the 301’s driven wheels at the moment of release, forcing greater compression into the front tyres and cutting the wheelspin that bleeds away a compact saloon’s modest power. Ride-height adjustment lets you set static rake to suit your launch technique and tyre choice. As the 301 builds speed down the strip, the damping holds the body settled so the car stays predictable rather than wandering toward the traps. Because the platform is front-wheel drive, the gains land where they matter most on this car: traction at the front axle in the critical first 60 feet.

About the Drag Racing coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Drag Racing coilover for one job – 0-400 metre acceleration. The series is engineered to work across drivetrain layouts, front-, rear- and four-wheel drive, because the underlying principle holds in each case. The setting deliberately manipulates front-to-rear weight distribution in line with the driven wheels during hard, instant acceleration. By forcing the driven tyres into greater compression at launch, it reduces the idle time of the wheel – the moment of spin where revs rise but the car does not – and brings the contact patch back into useful grip sooner. The same setup targets stability at high speed, keeping the car composed as it nears terminal velocity on the run. For the Peugeot 301, that means a coilover tuned around the demands of standing-start running rather than road comfort or lap pace.

Fitment for the Peugeot 301 (2012-2026)

This kit is matched to the Peugeot 301 saloon on the PE22 chassis, covering the full 2012 to 2026 production run. Confirm your registration year falls within that span before ordering; the fitment is specific to the 301 and its PE22 platform.
