XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Subaru XV GP 4WD 2012-2017

The XV GP rides roughly 20mm higher than the Impreza GJ wagon it’s built on, and that extra ride height raises the centre of gravity right where symmetrical AWD cars least want it – through the middle of a corner. XYZ Racing’s Street Advanced coilovers for the XV GP 4WD (2012-2017, chassis code SU20) go straight after that lifted-crossover roll without turning the car into something that beats you up on a motorway commute.

This is the Street Advanced spec: a height-adjustable coilover kit with 720 damping settings, built for owners who drive the XV daily and want it properly sorted for a B-road blast or the occasional track day, not a dedicated race car. It’s a comfort-first platform that still lets you wind out understeer when the road opens up.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2017 Subaru XV GP

Dropping and stiffening the XV GP’s factory-soft, comfort-tuned suspension tightens up the body control that the extra ride height otherwise works against, cutting the lean you feel loading the outside wheels through a roundabout or a fast direction change. The 720-way damping adjustment means you can run the front and rear ends closer to the factory-quiet ride for the school run, then wind in support before a track day without swapping parts. Because the XV’s permanent AWD and boxer engine already keep the car planted in a straight line, most of what you’ll notice is transitional – turn-in that responds sooner and a rear axle that stops squatting and stepping wide under trail-braking. As a coilover kit, ride height is adjustable too, so you can drop the stance back towards standard-Impreza proportions if the factory-lifted look isn’t what you’re after.

About the Street Advanced coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Street Advanced line over several years specifically to sit between the brand’s comfort-oriented kits and its dedicated circuit dampers, and it’s the product XYZ points to as its most widely fitted across the range, refined through testing in races worldwide. Each unit offers 720 individual increments of damping adjustment, giving a far finer window of control than the handful of settings on a typical off-the-shelf coilover. XYZ pitches the Street Advanced as equally suited to normal road use or a track day, which is exactly the brief a raised, family-friendly crossover like the XV GP needs: composed enough to trust with daily driving, adjustable enough to sharpen up when you want more from it.
