XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Skoda OCTAVIA 5E SEDAN φ55 (Rear Twist-Beam Suspension) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2019

The Octavia 5E’s twist-beam rear axle was Skoda’s cost-effective answer to the multi-link setup fitted to four-wheel-drive and higher-output variants, and it responds to spring and damping changes very differently to an independent rear end. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover kit for the 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia SK18-C brings 36-way damping adjustment to that torsion-beam layout, along with a cancellation kit that lets you remove the factory Dynamic Chassis Control electronics without a dash full of warning lights.

Built for fast-road driving with weekend track days folded in, the Super Sport kit sits between a daily-comfort setup and a dedicated circuit spec. Ride height is adjustable independently of damping, so lowering the Octavia doesn’t mean living with a harsh commute on top of it.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia

With a twist-beam rear, body control comes largely from spring rate and damping rather than geometry changes, so the 36 damping positions on this kit matter more here than they would on a multi-link car – you can firm up the rear to match a stiffened front without introducing axle hop over mid-corner bumps. The DCC cancellation kit removes the electronic damper control unit from the equation entirely, so the Super Sport’s own valving is what’s actually controlling the car, not a compromised factory default map. Ride height adjustment lets you correct the nose-up stance that’s common once the front end carries upgraded brakes, and the firmer overall spring rates cut the body roll that the standard torsion-beam suspension allows under trail-braking into a corner. Daily driveability is retained because the damping range extends down to a comfort-biased setting, not just a stiff track-only end of the scale.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport damper is XYZ Racing’s fast-road-to-track design, built to take the discomfort out of rough UK B-roads while still giving 36 distinct damping positions to work through. Ride height is independently adjustable at each corner, so stance can be set without disturbing the damping curve, and vice versa. Valving is calibrated to cope with the full range of everyday road surfaces – potholes, expansion joints, poorly patched resurfacing – while still holding the car flat enough for a weekend track session. XYZ position the Super Sport as a genuine dual-use damper: firm enough to be worth fitting for track days, compliant enough that it doesn’t punish the drive home afterwards. For this specific Octavia application, the kit ships with the electronic damping cancellation resistors needed to run passive dampers on a chassis that left the factory fitted with DCC.

Fitment for the Skoda Octavia (2013-2019)

This kit is built for the SK18-C chassis code: Skoda Octavia 5E saloon models fitted with the φ55 twist-beam rear suspension, produced between 2013 and 2019. Because it includes the DCC cancellation kit, it’s specifically for cars that left the factory with electronic Dynamic Chassis Control dampers rather than passive units, so check your Octavia’s original equipment before ordering.
