XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ford FOCUS ST MK4 HATCHBACK (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2019-2026

The MK4 Focus ST left the factory with CCD – Ford’s Continuously Controlled Damping – and a 276bhp 2.3 EcoBoost that asks more of the front axle than the standard dampers can really deliver once you start leaning on the car. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the FO28-C chassis replaces that electronic strut with a fully adjustable mechanical setup, and the kit includes the cancellation harness so the dash doesn’t throw a damper-fault warning the moment you turn the key.

For a fast-road MK4 ST that sees the occasional B-road blast or a Cadwell trackday, this is the spec to fit. You get static height adjustment plus 36-way bump-and-rebound, and the CCD delete means the suspension behaves the same on every input rather than the ECU second-guessing your right foot mid-corner.

What this coilover does for your 2019-2026 Ford Focus ST MK4 Hatchback

Drop the nose 25-35mm and the ST’s stance tightens up immediately, but the real change is in how the front end loads. The standard CCD struts soften under sustained cornering load to chase ride comfort; the Super Sport’s monotube damper holds its line, so the contact patch stays planted through long right-handers where the MK4 traditionally washes wide. Wind the 36-way adjuster firmer at the front and the torque-steer that plagues 400Nm front-drive hatches becomes manageable, not a fight.

For daily duty, back the damping off six or eight clicks and the car still rides better than the OE setup over expansion joints and broken Tarmac – the eHydraulic motor mount stays happy, and there’s no shimmy at motorway speeds. Front-end turn-in sharpens, body roll calms down, and the rear axle finally feels like it’s working with the front instead of dragging behind it.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s fast-road-with-track-pretensions band. Construction is monotube with a single 36-click combined bump-and-rebound adjuster per corner, and ride height is set independently via the lower mount so you’re not trading travel for stance. The damper internals are tuned to deal with British road surfaces – the kind of mid-corner ridge that crashes through a lesser coilover – while still firming up enough for circuit work when you wind the clicker round.

XYZ designed this range explicitly for the weekend-race-and-daily-use brief, and the supplied facts back that up: comfortable enough to absorb potholes and bumps that would unsettle a track-only damper, adjustable enough to dial in for a Bedford trackday on Saturday. The CCD cancellation kit included here is the critical bit for the MK4 ST – without it, the car logs a fault the moment the OE damper plugs are unplugged.

Fitment for the Ford Focus ST MK4 Hatchback (2019-2026)

This kit is built for the FO28-C chassis – the MK4 ST hatchback with factory Continuously Controlled Damping. The cancellation harness is included to suppress the dash warning when the electronic struts come out. Fits 2019 through 2026 production cars.
