XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Nissan MAXIMA A31 (OE Rear WISHBONE) 1989-1994

The A31 Maxima’s OE rear wishbone layout was never built to cope with anything beyond soft, worn factory rates, and a tired A31 on stock suspension wallows through direction changes long before the VG30E has anything to say about it. Street Advanced coilovers replace that ageing setup with a full-length adjustable platform that keeps the car composed on the daily commute while giving it enough range to hold a line on a track day.

This is XYZ Racing’s most popular kit for exactly that reason: it doesn’t force a choice between comfort and control. On an A31 that’s more likely doing school runs than lap counts, that flexibility matters more than outright stiffness.

What this coilover does for your 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima A31 (OE Rr Wishbone)

Ride height becomes fully adjustable front and rear, so you can correct the nose-down stance many A31s develop as factory springs sag with age, or drop the car for a cleaner stance without dragging the sump on speed bumps. The 720-way damping adjustment lets you soften the front end for motorway miles, then wind in support before a spirited B-road run or track session, without swapping parts. On the OE rear wishbone geometry specifically, tighter damping control checks the body roll that stock dampers let build through fast direction changes, keeping the rear axle planted rather than following the front’s lead with a delay. Over patched, uneven UK tarmac, the adjustable platform also lets you dial out the harshness a too-stiff setting would otherwise put through the cabin on a 30-plus-year-old shell.

About the Street Advanced coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Street Advanced range over several years of in-house testing, refining it through use in international racing before bringing the spec down to street trim. The core of the kit is its damping adjuster, offering 720 distinct positions so the compression and rebound behaviour can be tuned in fine increments rather than broad steps. It’s built for owners who split their driving between ordinary road use and the occasional track day, rather than for a car that lives exclusively on a circuit. Construction follows XYZ’s usual full coilover format, with threaded bodies for ride height control and application-specific valving matched to the A31 platform. For a driver who wants their Maxima to behave predictably in both roles, it covers the ground between a soft OE setup and a dedicated competition kit.
