Honda CRV I 1995-2001 — Coilovers

The first-generation CR-V was never built to corner flat. Honda set a tall, boxy body on a Civic-derived floorpan, gave it soft springs and long travel for comfort, and added Real Time four-wheel drive for traction rather than handling. The result rides well but leans, dives and floats the moment you push it. XYZ Racing coilovers for the Honda CRV I (1995-2001) are aimed squarely at that behaviour.

By putting ride height and damping in your hands, these coilovers let you lower the centre of gravity, firm up the soft factory travel, and choose a character that fits how you actually use the car. Because the range runs to eight distinct specs, the HN27-generation CR-V can be set up for tidy road manners, sharper fast-road response, or a raised stance for rough ground, rather than being stuck with a single compromise.

What these coilovers do for your 1995-2001 Honda CRV I

Fit a set under the CR-V and the first thing you feel is composure. The tall body stops heaving over crests and rolling onto its outer tyre through roundabouts, because the dampers keep the wheels in firmer contact with the road. Dropping the ride height pulls the centre of gravity down, which crisps up turn-in and reduces the nose-dive this front-heavy SUV serves up under braking. Stiffer spring rates also help counter the slightly understeer-led balance of the Real Time AWD layout, asking the rear axle to do more of the work. Run it soft for relaxed daily driving, or wind it up when you want the car to take a corner seriously.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

A coilover packages a height-adjustable spring platform and a performance damper into one bolt-in unit, replacing the separate factory spring and shock on the CR-V. Across this range XYZ Racing offers eight specs, each tuned for a job: Street Advanced and Super Sport for refined road use, Top Sport and Circuit Master for circuit work, Racing Spec for hard track duty, Tarmac Rally and Gravel Rally for sealed and loose-surface stages, and Drift Spec for slide control. Threaded collars set the ride height, so you can lower the body for a planted road stance or lift it for rougher terrain. Where the chosen spec offers it, damping adjustment lets the same hardware stay supple on the motorway and tighten up on a back road. Spring rates rise over standard specifically to resist the roll and pitch a tall body generates.
