XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Honda TL UA6-UA7 2004-2008

The fourth-generation Acura TL – sold as the Honda TL on the UA6 and UA7 chassis – was always a curious thing in a UK driveway. A 3.2-litre V6 saloon riding on factory dampers tuned for American freeways, with a kerb weight that nudges 1,600kg and a nose that pushes wide the moment you ask it for a committed turn-in. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover addresses that softness directly, swapping the floaty OE setup for a 30-way height- and damping-adjustable platform built around a monotube body.

This is the kit pitched at owners who want the TL to behave like a proper sports saloon on a B-road without abandoning the long-distance manners that made them buy a V6 Honda in the first place. It is XYZ’s most popular series for a reason: it sits at the crossover point between a fast-road coilover and a genuine track-day part.

What this coilover does for your 2004-2008 Honda TL UA6-UA7

Bolt the Street Advanced in and the first thing you notice is body control. The standard TL leans heavily on transition, then settles into mid-corner understeer as the front outside damper runs out of travel. With 720 distinct damping positions, you can wind in front compression to flatten that initial roll and back off the rear to let the chassis rotate rather than push. Drop the ride height into the available adjustment window and the rear-three-quarter stance finally matches the car’s saloon proportions. Over UK road surfaces – patched A-roads, broken urban Tarmac, motorway expansion joints – the monotube damper recovers quickly enough that the front end stays planted under braking and the rear stops crashing into bump-stops over compressions.

About the Street Advanced coilover

XYZ Racing’s Street Advanced sits in the middle of the brand’s range and is the series the company describes as its most-developed product. It came out of years of iteration by the XYZ engineering team and has been refined against feedback from XYZ’s race programmes worldwide before being released as a road/track part. The construction is monotube with adjustable spring perches and a 30-step damping dial that opens up 720 combined settings across compression and rebound, giving genuine scope to tune the car to a specific tyre, a specific road, or a specific circuit. It is built for normal road use and track day duty in the same kit – not a stripped-out racing damper, not a soft show-stance lowering kit, but the in-between part owners actually want when the OE shocks are tired. XYZ pitches it as essential kit for drivers who care about pace and control in equal measure.

Fitment for the Honda TL (2004-2008)

This kit is matched to the UA6 and UA7 chassis Honda TL sold between 2004 and 2008, covering the front-wheel-drive 3.2 V6 (UA6) and the SH-AWD-equipped 3.5 V6 (UA7) variants of the fourth-generation car. Confirm your chassis prefix against the VIN before configuring spring rates – the UA7’s heavier driveline means most owners benefit from a stiffer front rate than the UA6.
