XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Lexus ES (XV60) (80mm center-to-center) 2012-2018

The XV60 ES carries Toyota’s K platform underneath a Lexus body, which means a comfort-tuned front strut and rear shock layout never built with body control in mind. Factory dampers cope fine with a soft ride but let the nose float under quick direction changes, and the standard geometry does nothing to check the roll that comes with a car this size. Street Advanced coilovers replace that setup with a monotube damper you can actually adjust to suit how you drive the car day to day.

This is XYZ Racing’s biggest-selling range for good reason: it splits the difference between comfort and control rather than forcing a choice between them. On the XV60 that means you can soften things off for the commute into work and firm the car up before a longer run without needing a second set of dampers or a trip to a specialist.

What this coilover kit does for your 2012-2018 Lexus ES

Fit the kit and the biggest change you’ll feel is body control through direction changes – the front end stops diving under braking and the rear stays settled through compressions instead of wallowing. The 720-way damping adjustment gives you genuinely useful range, not a token few clicks either side of a fixed setting: wind it softer for broken UK B-roads and the ES rides smoother than the factory setup manages, or firm it up and the car resists the roll that catches out unmodified XV60s in faster direction changes. Lowering the centre of gravity through the height-adjustable coilover body also sharpens turn-in response, something the standard ES – built primarily around cabin isolation – never prioritised. None of this comes at the cost of everyday usability; the adjustment range is wide enough that a firmer setting for a spirited drive doesn’t mean living with a harsh ride the rest of the week.

About the Street Advanced coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Street Advanced range over several years of testing, including feedback drawn from race environments where the same monotube damper technology gets pushed hard under repeated load. That testing shaped a product aimed squarely at two audiences: drivers doing normal road miles who want sharper handling without sacrificing ride quality, and those who take the same car to track days and need a kit that can be dialled up for the occasion. The headline figure is 720 damping adjustment positions, giving a genuinely fine-grained window between plush and firm rather than a handful of coarse steps. Construction follows XYZ’s monotube design, chosen for consistent damping force and better heat dissipation than a twin-tube unit under sustained load. It’s built as the do-everything option in the XYZ range – equipment for owners who want more control over how the car responds without committing to a track-only setup.
