XYZ Racing Circuit Master Coilovers — Subaru XV GP 4WD 2012-2017

The GP-generation XV carries the same symmetrical AWD platform and raised ride height as its Impreza sibling, which means body roll and a soft factory damper tune show up fast once you start pushing it on track. Circuit Master is built for that exact problem: sustained lap sessions where the suspension has to stay consistent run after run, not just cope with the first quick corner.

For a 4WD crossover-based platform like the GP, controlling roll through the drivetrain’s added weight matters as much as outright spring rate. This kit is aimed at owners running the XV in circuit or time-attack use who need the chassis to hold a line lap after lap without the front end washing wide as the front dampers heat up.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2017 Subaru XV

With 9720 combinations available across the damper’s adjustment range, you can set the XV up specifically for its higher factory ride height and AWD weight distribution rather than working around a generic road-biased valving curve. The three external adjustment knobs let you separate compression and rebound circuits, so you can firm up body control through direction changes without transmitting every surface imperfection into the cabin on the way to the circuit. Monotube-style damping keeps oil temperatures more stable than the factory strut design across a full track session, which matters on a taller-bodied car like the XV where heat soak shows up as fade in damper response by the final laps. Lowering the ride height also drops the centre of gravity on a platform that left the factory set up for ground clearance rather than cornering speed.

About the Circuit Master coilover

Circuit Master sits at the top of XYZ Racing’s range and is built around the same architecture used across the brand’s Racing Spec, Drift Spec and Tarmac Rally variants – configurations developed through use by XYZ-affiliated racing teams competing on circuits internationally. The core of the design is its adjustment range: 9720 distinct combinations reachable through three external knobs, giving a far finer window for matching damping to chassis and driving style than a single-knob unit allows. The small-orifice valving inside each knob is what delivers that resolution, and on rough sections of track surface it can produce a faint noise as oil passes through the narrow passage – that’s a characteristic of the design under those conditions, not a fault. The kit is built for circuit use specifically, where sustained, repeatable damper behaviour across a session counts for more than one-off comfort.

Fitment for the Subaru XV GP (2012-2017)

This kit is engineered specifically for the GP-chassis Subaru XV, covering the 4WD platform across the 2012 to 2017 production run. Chassis code SU20 confirms correct application for this generation before ordering – earlier or later XV generations use different mounting points and are not covered by this fitment.
