XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Aston Martin DB9 2004-2016

Aston Martin calibrated the DB9’s factory suspension for long-distance Grand Touring – effortless on the motorway, forgiving over French back-roads, but noticeably soft once chassis loads start building on a circuit. The transaxle layout gives the car excellent fore-aft balance for a near-two-tonne GT, and that balance is worth exploiting; the standard spring rates and damping simply don’t let it.

The Top Sport coilover is the XYZ Racing fitment for DB9 owners who circuit their cars seasonally but drive them on the road the rest of the year. Spring rates are raised 2kg/mm above the street baseline and damping increased in the 30-50% band, which means the DB9 sits flatter under the heavy braking the V12’s weight demands and recovers composure more quickly on corner exit.

What this coilover does for your 2004-2016 Aston Martin DB9

With the factory suspension, the DB9’s body roll under lateral load and dive under braking are significant – both consequences of a heavy GT chassis tuned for comfort. The Top Sport’s firmer spring rate reduces that body motion noticeably, giving the double-wishbone front and multi-link rear geometry a more consistent attitude through fast direction changes. The 30-50% damping uplift allows the coilover to absorb sharp jolts from kerbs and track expansion joints without transmitting them directly into the cabin – important in a car where the V12’s mass is always loading the front axle under hard braking. Traction under power improves because the tyre contact patch stays more stable over surface irregularities, and the stance drop brings the centre of gravity closer to the deck.

About the Top Sport coilover

The Top Sport is XYZ Racing’s street-and-track coilover series, its settings derived entirely from the company’s circuit programme and calibrated for drivers who use their cars hard without abandoning road manners. Damping sits 30-50% above the street setting and spring rates are lifted 2kg/mm – a pairing developed specifically to absorb the jolt of large surface changes, from kerb strikes and expansion joints to uneven track pavement, while keeping body suppression firm enough for aggressive cornering. The focus is on tyre traction through consistent contact-patch loading rather than stiffness as an end in itself. Owners who want the DB9 to behave seriously on circuit without stripping the car of its character on the road will find this the right calibration.
