XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Alfa Romeo 159 SEDAN / WAGON 5/6 CYL 2005-2011

The 159’s biggest compromise as a daily-and-occasional-track car is its kerb weight – this is a big, front-heavy saloon (and an even heavier Sportwagon) built on the AL09-2 platform, and stock damping struggles to keep body control tidy once you start asking questions of it on a B-road or a track day. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover kit is built for exactly that brief: fast-road driving with the occasional weekend circuit outing, without turning the car into something you dread on a rough motorway.

Ride height and damping are both independently adjustable, so the 159 can be set up to suit the road it’s actually on rather than a single compromise setting baked in at the factory.

What this coilover kit brings to your 2005-2011 Alfa Romeo 159 Sedan / Wagon 5/6 CYL

With 36-way damping adjustment, you can wind the compression and rebound right off for a comfortable, absorbent ride on scarred UK B-roads, or firm things up before a track session to control the weight transfer that a car this size generates under braking and through direction changes. Independent ride height adjustment lets you drop the stance for a lower centre of gravity and reduced body roll, or hold it higher if ground clearance over speed humps and steep driveways matters more to you. Because the damper and height adjustments are separate, you’re not forced into the usual coilover trade-off of "lower means harsher" – you can set the 159 low and still tune the damping back toward comfort for the daily commute. On the 5/6-cylinder cars in particular, where there’s genuine weight over the front axle, tighter damping control pays off directly in reduced dive under braking and a more settled turn-in.

About the Super Sport coilover

Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road-plus-track damper, built to take the harshness out of poor road surfaces without giving up the control a car like the 159 needs when it’s driven hard. The 36-way adjustment range covers everything from a soft, compliant setting for everyday driving through to a firmer, track-oriented setup for a weekend session, all from the same damper – no swap-out kit needed. Ride height is adjustable independently of damping, so lowering the car for looks or aero doesn’t force a harsher ride, and raising it back up doesn’t mean losing your damping setup. It’s a dual-purpose design: engineered to handle daily duty on UK roads through the week and hold together for spirited driving or a track day on the weekend, which is exactly the use case most 159 owners running a coilover kit are after.
