XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Honda INTEGRA RSX DC5 2001-2006

The DC5 Integra arrived in the UK as a grey-import oddity and a JDM cult object – a K20A-powered front-driver with a six-speed and a chassis that was already 80% of the way to a track tool from Honda’s factory. What it has never had, in standard form, is damping that copes with British B-road camber changes or a circuit kerb without going light over the rear axle. That is the problem this coilover exists to solve.

The XYZ Racing Street Advanced for the Honda Integra RSX DC5 is the kit you fit when you want the K20 to feel as quick on the road as it does on cam. It tightens the body control without turning the daily commute into a punishment, and it gives you 30-way bump and rebound to tune for a craggy back road on Sunday and a smooth circuit lap on a Tuesday evening.

What this coilover does for your 2001-2006 Honda Integra DC5

Drop a DC5 onto a stock damper and the front end loads up fast on turn-in, then the rear washes wide as the body unloads – anyone who has chased a Civic Type R EP3 through a fast third-gear sweeper knows the feeling. The Street Advanced pulls that movement back into line. Stiffer monotube damping flattens roll on initial turn-in so the K20 stays planted as the VTEC cam comes in, while the 720-step adjustment range lets you soften the rears for trail-braking rotation without losing front-end bite. Ride height comes down to clean up the arch gap that DC5 owners universally complain about, and the platform stays composed when you hit mid-corner bumps on a track like Cadwell or a typical Welsh A-road. Brake dive is reduced enough that the OEM Brembo fronts feel a generation sharper under hard use.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular series and the one developed over years of professional team testing before reaching the catalogue. It is built specifically for road use and the occasional track day, which is the exact brief most fast-road DC5 owners actually have. The construction is monotube with a single adjustment knob delivering 720 distinct damping settings – enough granularity to find a setting that genuinely suits your driving rather than picking between "soft" and "stiff" presets. Spring rates are selected for road compliance first and circuit composure second, so you do not get the head-toss that a full track-spec kit forces on you. The kit has been refined through international competition use, then dialled back to a spec that holds up to repeated lap sessions without making the morning drive intolerable.

Fitment for the Honda Integra (2001-2006)

This kit is built specifically for the DC5 chassis Integra RSX, covering the full 2001 to 2006 production run including UK grey-import and JDM-spec cars. It fits the standard K20A and K20A2 platform without modification to factory mounting points.
