Honda TL UA8-UA9 2009-2014 — Coilovers

The TL’s UA8 and UA9 platform carries its 3.5 and 3.7-litre V6 mass well ahead of the front axle line, and the factory damping was signed off for hushed motorway refinement rather than committed cornering. XYZ Racing’s coilover range for the Honda TL UA8-UA9 2009-2014 swaps that soft compliance for ride height and damping you set yourself, so a big front-driven saloon stops leaning on its outside front tyre and starts turning when you ask it to.

On the SH-AWD UA9 the rear axle already shuffles torque intelligently; what the standard car lacks is a front end that resists roll long enough to use that grip. These kits work on the body that sits on top of the running gear – corner balance, stance and damper response – across eight distinct specs.

What this coilover does for your 2009-2014 Honda TL UA8-UA9

Drop the ride height and you pull the TL’s tall, comfort-biased centre of gravity back towards the road, which cuts the initial lean that makes the standard car feel reluctant to change direction. Firmer, adjustable damping controls that forward weight transfer under braking, so the nose settles instead of diving when you load the front tyres into a corner. Height adjustment at each corner lets you set the saloon level on its springs, and the stiffer rates take the float out of motorway expansion joints and crested A-roads. The result is a heavy luxury platform that holds a chosen line and feels far tidier than the soft factory setup allows.

About the coilover range

Rather than a single compromise, the TL UA8-UA9 is covered by eight builds, each tuned for a different job. Super Sport and Street Advanced sit at the fast-road end, prioritising a usable daily ride with sharper body control. Top Sport and Circuit Master step up the rates and damping bias for track-day and circuit use, where repeat braking into the same corner punishes a soft strut. Racing Spec is the most focused tarmac build, while Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally and Drift Spec address their own surfaces and driving styles. Every kit is height-adjustable and built to let you trim the corner weights of a notably nose-heavy car. Pick the spec by how the car is actually used, not by headline numbers.
