XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda FIT GD 2001-2007

The first-generation Honda FIT GD was built to a price and a packaging brief – tall body, short wheelbase, torsion-beam rear, soft springs to keep the school run civil. That makes it one of the most rewarding small Hondas to actually set up properly, because the chassis underneath the supermini suspension is willing. Drop the ride height, control the body, and the GD turns into the sharp, flickable hatch the factory damping was always hiding.

The XYZ Racing Super Sport is the right pick here because the use-case for a tuned GD FIT is overwhelmingly fast road with the occasional track day or sprint – exactly what this damper is built around. You get height adjustment and 36-way damping in one kit, without the harshness penalty that catches owners out when they drop a small Honda onto an entry-level coilover.

What this coilover does for your 2001-2007 Honda FIT GD

Once the Super Sport is on the car, the GD stops floating over mid-corner ripples and the front end starts behaving like it actually has a contact patch under load. The 36-way damping range matters on a car this light – small clicks make a real difference, so you can run a softer setting for broken B-roads and firm it up for a trackday morning without changing parts. Height adjustment lets you close the arch gap and lower the roll centre, which is the single biggest thing you can do to clean up the GD’s body roll on turn-in. Ride quality stays liveable for daily use because the damper is built to absorb rough surfaces rather than skip across them, so this is a setup you can leave on the car year-round.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport range is XYZ Racing’s fast-road-with-track-capability damper, engineered to remove the discomfort that cheaper height-adjustable kits introduce when they meet a rough British surface. Each unit carries 36-way damping adjustment along with independent ride-height adjustment, so spring preload and stance are set separately – the right way round. Construction is geared toward repeat heat cycles rather than a single qualifying lap, which is why XYZ position this as a dual-purpose kit suitable for weekend competition and daily commuting in the same week. The damping curve is tuned to stay composed when the road surface deteriorates mid-corner, a real-world calibration choice that separates the Super Sport from track-only kits that ride like a plank below 6/10ths.
