XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Chevrolet CAMARO 8 CYL 2011-2015

The fifth-generation Camaro’s biggest handling compromise isn’t the LS3’s weight up front, it’s how soft the factory FE2 dampers let that weight move. On a UK B-road the nose dives under braking and the tail squats hard off the line, and the standard springs were tuned for wide, smooth American interstates rather than tighter, bumpier tarmac. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built to correct that without turning the car into something uncomfortable to drive to the shops.

For a 2011-2015 Camaro V8 split between fast-road miles and the occasional track day, Super Sport’s brief is control without sacrificing the car’s usability. It replaces the vague, long-travel factory setup with a damper that keeps the Zeta platform’s considerable mass working with the tyre rather than against it, corner after corner.

What this coilover does for your 2011-2015 Chevrolet Camaro

Dialling in more compression and rebound control settles the nose during trail-braking into a corner, which matters on a car carrying this much weight over the front axle. Ride height adjustment lets you correct the factory’s slightly high stance and pull the centre of gravity down, sharpening turn-in on a chassis that otherwise leans hard through quick direction changes. The 36-way damping adjustment means you can run a firmer setting for a track session and back it off for the drive home, rather than living with one compromise setting all year round. Reducing unwanted body movement over UK road surfaces also cuts down the rear-end squat that shows up under hard acceleration from the LS3, putting more of that torque into forward drive instead of axle movement.

About the Super Sport coilover

Super Sport is built around a damper designed to take the harshness out of rough or broken tarmac while still giving the driver a usable window of adjustment. Ride height is adjustable independently of spring preload, so you can set the Camaro’s stance without upsetting the damper’s working range. The headline figure is 36-way damping adjustment, enough range to move from a comfortable daily setting to a noticeably firmer track-day feel without swapping components. XYZ positions this range as the point where a car can be set up to suit changing road conditions rather than locked to a single compromise. It’s built for exactly the mix this Camaro spec sees in practice: everyday road use through the week, weekend track or fast-road driving when the car gets stretched.

Fitment for the Chevrolet Camaro (2011-2015)

This kit is specified for the Chevrolet Camaro 8-cylinder chassis (CH01-B) built between 2011 and 2015, covering the fifth-generation V8 cars sold in this window. Confirm your build year and engine variant fall inside this range before ordering, as suspension geometry differs from the V6 Camaro of the same generation.
