XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda CRV IV 2012-2016

The fourth-generation CRV is a tall, soft-sprung family SUV with a high centre of gravity and a chassis tuned almost entirely for ride comfort over British B-roads. That softness is exactly what makes the standard car roll heavily through a roundabout and pitch under braking – and exactly what the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover is built to fix on the 2012-2016 CRV IV.

This is the fast-road specification in the XYZ range, sitting between the entry Sport line and the circuit-focused Top Sport. For a CRV IV used as a daily driver that occasionally sees a track day, a green lane, or a long motorway tow, it gives you proper damping control and a lower, flatter stance without turning the car into something you regret on the school run.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2016 Honda CRV IV

Drop a Super Sport kit onto a CRV IV and the first thing you notice is body control. The factory dampers run out of travel quickly on undulating tarmac; the XYZ unit holds the wheel against the road through compression and rebound, so the nose stops diving when you brake from 70mph and the tail stops squatting when you load up the rear. Lowering the ride height pulls the centre of gravity down on a vehicle that genuinely benefits from it, sharpening turn-in and reducing the lazy understeer the CRV defaults to.

The 36-way damping adjustment is the part that earns its keep day to day. Wind it soft for a long M6 run with the family in the back, then firm it up two or three clicks before a Cadwell session. Ride height adjustment lets you sit the CRV at a sensible drop that clears speed bumps and supermarket ramps without the comedy fender gap of the standard car.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport damper is engineered around eliminating the harshness that rough surfaces transmit into a road car, while still giving the driver real control over how the chassis behaves. Ride height is adjustable across a usable range so you can dial in the stance that suits your tyre and wheel package on the CRV IV. The 36-way damping adjustment covers everything from a soft daily setting through to a firmed-up weekend-track configuration.

Construction targets the dual-purpose buyer: the bloke who wants to drop the family wagon, get the wheels filling the arches properly, and still take it to a track day or a Bicester Heritage Sunday without rattling fillings loose. That breadth is the point – the same kit handles wet motorway, dry B-road, and the occasional sighting lap.
