XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Nissan PRIMERA P11 (Rear Bolt Distance φ172) 1998-2002

Nissan ran the Primera in the BTCC during this car’s production life, and the P11’s multi-link rear end has always had more grip in it than the factory dampers let a road car use. Standard-fit units on a Primera this age are long past their best, soft in compression and vague through direction changes, which shows up as body roll under trail-braking and a rear end that squats rather than settles. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover kit for the Nissan Primera P11 replaces that setup with height-adjustable, 36-way dampers built for exactly the use most owners put this car to: fast-road driving through the week and the occasional track day.

For a Primera pulled out of pure commuter duty and pointed at a circuit, that adjustability matters more than outright spring rate. You can run the ride height low enough to sharpen turn-in without sitting the car on its bump stops, and wind the damping up or down between a run to work and a trackday session without swapping parts.

What this coilover kit does for your 1998-2002 Nissan Primera P11

Dropping and firming the P11’s stance tightens up the body control that standard suspension gives away under load, so weight transfer under braking and direction change reads as predictable rather than a lurch. The 36-way damping adjustment gives you a genuine range to work with: soften it off for a rough B-road or the daily commute, then firm it up for a session at a UK circuit without the car crashing over kerbs. Ride height adjustment lets you set the Primera’s stance independently of spring preload, so you can correct for corner weight or simply get the nose and tail sitting level again after years on sagging factory springs. Because the kit is built to smooth out bumps and rough surfaces rather than just stiffen everything, the P11 stays usable on UK roads between track outings instead of turning into a car you only enjoy on smooth tarmac.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport sits in the middle of the coilover range, between comfort-focused road kits and dedicated circuit dampers, built around the idea that most owners want one car for fast-road driving and weekend track use rather than two setups. Each damper offers 36 stages of adjustment, giving a wide enough spread to run noticeably softer over broken UK road surfaces and noticeably firmer once you’re on track, all from the same set of dampers. Ride height adjusts independently of spring rate, so the Primera’s stance can be set for corner weight or simply for a lower centre of gravity without disturbing the spring set-up. XYZ designed the Super Sport specifically to remove the discomfort that comes with lowering a road car – the harshness over bumps and rough surfaces that cheaper coilovers introduce – while still holding up to a weekend on circuit. It’s pitched as equally at home covering daily miles as it is doing a track day, which is the brief for a Primera that’s bought to be driven rather than kept for best.

Fitment for the Nissan Primera P11 (1998-2002)

This kit fits the Nissan Primera P11, chassis code NI27, across the 1998 to 2002 production run. Primera P11s were built with more than one rear damper mounting configuration, and this specific kit is specced for the rear bolt distance Φ172 variant – check your car’s rear shock mounting spacing against this figure before ordering, since fitting the wrong bolt-distance kit will not bolt up.
