XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Ford i-MAX 2005-2010

A drag setup on a seven-seat Ford people-carrier reads like a contradiction, and that is precisely what makes the XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover for the Ford i-MAX (2005-2010) an unusual order. This kit exists for one job: getting a tall, front-heavy body to plant its driven wheels and clear the line cleanly over a standing 400 metres.

The i-MAX carries its mass high and forward, which is the worst possible starting point for a hard launch. These coilovers are set up to manage how that weight moves the instant you load the throttle, shifting bias toward the driven axle so the front tyres bite instead of lighting up. It is a single-purpose tool for owners running their i-MAX down a strip rather than around a circuit.

What this coilover does for your 2005-2010 Ford i-MAX

Off the line, the gain you feel is traction. By controlling how the body squats and pitches at launch, the kit forces more load onto the front contact patches at the exact moment torque arrives, cutting the wheelspin that bleeds away a standing-start time. Height adjustment lets you set a launch-friendly attitude and rake for the i-MAX’s long wheelbase. Through the top end of the run, the same controlled platform keeps the tall MPV body settled and steady as speed builds, so the chassis is not fighting you when you should be concentrating on the next shift.

About the Drag Racing coilover

The Drag Racing series is engineered specifically for 0-400 metre runs and is built to suit front-wheel-drive, rear-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive cars alike. Its defining trait is launch behaviour: the setting deliberately transfers weight between the front and rear axles according to which wheels are driven, loading the driven tyre into greater compression the moment the car moves. That extra compression is what reduces the dead time of a spinning wheel and turns engine torque into forward motion sooner. As the run develops, the same calibration is intended to hold the vehicle stable at high speed. On the front-drive i-MAX, that means biasing grip toward the front axle where this platform puts its power down.

Fitment for the Ford i-MAX (2005-2010)

This kit is matched to the Ford i-MAX, chassis code FO09, across the 2005 to 2010 model years. It is built for the front-wheel-drive i-MAX platform, with the Drag Racing calibration set to load the driven front axle off the line. Confirm your chassis code and year against the listing before configuring.
