XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Chrysler NEON 1994-2000

The first-generation Chrysler NEON is a car that lives or dies on its damping. The cab-forward packaging and that willing little 2.0 sat over a soft, long-travel front end that rolls early and squats hard out of corners – fine for a 1990s American compact, painful the moment you start asking it to do anything quicker. The Super Sport coilover is the kit that finally lets a NEON sit flat, turn cleanly, and stop pogoing over UK B-road surface changes.

For the SOHC and DOHC NEONs from 1994 to 2000, this is the fast-road and weekend-track answer rather than a full circuit-only conversion. You get the height drop the chassis has always asked for, plus damping authority that the OE struts could never muster, without sacrificing the ability to drive it home on Sunday night.

What this coilover does for your 1994-2000 Chrysler NEON

Ride height becomes yours to set, so you can finally close the wheel-arch gap that makes a standard NEON look like it is sitting on stilts. The 36-way damping adjustment is the bit that does the heavy lifting on a chassis this soft from the factory – wind the dampers up for a Cadwell trackday and the front end stops diving into trail-braking, then back the clicks off on the drive home and the kit absorbs broken tarmac without rattling your fillings. Body roll through a fast direction-change drops sharply, which gives the front tyres a chance to actually load up rather than scrubbing on a rolling sidewall. Brake feel improves as a side effect, because the nose stops pitching forward under load. The net result is a NEON that feels deliberate instead of approximate.

About the Super Sport coilover

Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s dual-purpose damper, engineered to handle both weekend race use and daily driving from the same set of clicks. The hardware pairs ride-height adjustment with 36-way damping so you can match the kit to whatever surface and tyre you are running on. The whole brief of the Super Sport is to eliminate the discomfort that comes from bumps and rough roads – typically the trade-off you sign up for when you go to a fixed-rate track coilover – while still giving you enough damping range to set the car up properly for a track session. It is the kit you fit when you want one car that does fast-road duties Monday to Friday and circuit work at the weekend, rather than running two separate setups.
